I loved Olen and Fanny like family. They were the finest people I’ve known. My pastors in Monett Mo for 20 years but my friends forever.
I stopped at Nowata, on a Sunday morning. Found uncle Olen’s church and pulled into the parking lot. I was driving an extended hood Pete with a 48’ trailer. I walked in mid sermon and of course every one turned to see who could be so rude. Unc never missed a beat, explaining who I was . By then aunt Fanny had come up and took me down to sit with her. What a gracious couple. I wasn’t dressed for church , matter of fact , technically I was still at work. I spent the day with them and had a really great visit. The last time we got to talk was briefly at JBs service. I hate it that I didn’t get to visit at least once more. He is a fine person who has been a great and positive influence on thousands of people. I’m sure we will meet again.
Rest In Peace Uncle Olen. When you find dad tell him hi for us...
Ben Rainey
