Dear Mom You can only imagine how much Ole will be missed at our house. He was a great father in law, step father ,and grandpa. The memories that we shared will last us a life time. He will be greatly missed by Myself,Norval,Catherine-Anne, Alexander and Lucky and Madison. We love you and look forward to seeing you in a few days. John
Cathy, it is difficult to tell you how deeply Inger and I feel about Ole's untimely death. What started as a family relationship between us quickly became a warm friendship. We spent lots of great time together, particularly the many times we visited you in Florida, but also when you lived in West Vancouver, and we will never forget the fun time we had leading up to your wedding in Hawaii. We are thankful that we had the opportunity to say goodbye to Ole only a few weeks ago and experience that he still had his humor intact and even left us with a smile. With great personal sorrow, we ask to share your loss and to extend our sympathy, we know there is a great adjustment for you to overcome, but with time we are sure you will adjust to your new situation. We know you are grateful for the many years you shared with Ole. We will always remember you Ole. Your cousin in Langley, Per
Kelly, I am so sorry for your loss. I still remember the time that your Dad took us to Collingwood years ago in his convertable to go swimming in the rocks (can't remember what's it called), but it was fun. It is so hard to know what to say. Just know that my thoughts are with you and your family.
Cathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you and family. Sheila and Merv.
