I sure hate this, but I was awakened this morning to a text from @olekool830’s wife that he passed away Saturday night at 10PM. He had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She said they found it last Friday and he died on Saturday (I’m assuming a week later).
I’m blown away, and I know he was everyone’s buddy, and he was one of the OG Team Leaders, too, so I thought maybe we can pin this thread for a week or so and let people leave any funny stories or condolences, or anything you feel like. I can pass it to his wife if she is interested.
That’s all of the news I have. He texted me last Tuesday about his pancreas and that’s the last text I got. I know he was a great guy with a big heart and he always made me laugh with his meme selections on some days. I’m really stunned myself because we had become pretty good friends just from meeting here. I’m just tore up, today.
Oleskool is one of the best! Nicest people I’ve ever met, sadly not in person, man… Horrible news today. My condolences and deepest feels out to Mrs Oleskool! I can’t imagine…
Ffs. This is the worse news I’ve had this entire year That man was a total OG legend. I know both you @GMan and @oleskool830 were close friends in person. The man was a total legend in my eyes. If I can help his family in any way be in money or love from across the pond let me know. I’m devastated with this news.
Oh damn!
I literally just planted some of the seeds he sent me, and was planning on tagging him when they broke ground.
Really sad news.
Onward through the fog, brother
I’ve got a pack of seeds and a hand wrote letter he sent me the beginning of this year. I’ll grab a photo of it when I get a minute and his seed generosity has moved to the front of my next line up. Let’s make this mans life count.
What a terrible notice , always with a smile and good mood till the end, one of the reasons for my daily visit, really appreciate his generous soul and big heart. My deepest condolences to Mrs. and relatives, GMan I know you were very close and he was a great help even in his condition, thanks for letting us know and I share your sadness, he was a Great Man …
