Ole was an amazing boss and kind person. I remember Ole and Verna attending our wedding in 1985. There he met up with a couple of his trucking buddies Norm Harrison my Dad and Don McIntyre my uncle. They caught up on old times and had a great time doing so. My deepest and sincere sympathy on your loss Gloria Pongracz (nee Harrison) - Posted by: Gloria Pongracz nee Harrison (Co-worker from Tans Western Express) on: Jan 16, 2017
