Dear Jeff, Carla, Rita and family, I am thinking of you and your families at this difficult time. May all the warm and special memories you shared with your loved one stay with you and bring you comfort through all the days ahead. With Deepest Sympathy, Rose Beneke

So sorry to hear about Ollie. I remembered him on the courts Stonebrook and Clarke County. We played a lot of tennis doubles. I am glad to hear he got to play Pickleball. Sorry we did not get to play that sport together. May he RIP.

Jeff and Werner Family: Sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. USACE at Winchester did let all of us know. Sending prayers and thoughts to all.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

So sorry, Ollie was a good man .

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
