I never had the pleasure of meeting Uncle Ollie. I did hear many, many great stories from my good friend and Ollie's nephew Butch Brenizer. Butch's stories always stated that Ollie was a true Eastsider and one "hell of a man". I wish i had met Uncle Ollie and there is a chance I may have a time or two while growing up and living on the Eastside. RIP Uncle Ollie!!
My sympathies to the Brenizers..

I am so sorry to hear of Ollies passing. I believe he was one of the few out there that would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. Very kind and caring, what a hard worker he was as well. I'm sure there is a place in heaven for him. Sincerely, Kathy
