My condolences to the Voigt family. Heaven gains an angel, who will now join the others to watch over you, until you meet again.

A lot of people will miss Ollie. He certainly was a well-known Beaver Dam native. I remember his as being calm, having good advice, and common sense. He was always always willing to stop and visit, especially after he retired. Thanks to him I was fortunate to part of the Voigt neighbor hood for a number of years. My sympathy to the family.
