"Deke" will surely be missed. He was a good friend and classmate. My trips back to Galva will not be the same without sharing time with "Deke" at Mary's. I'm glad he got to see his beloved Cubs win the World Series. Rest In Peace, my friend.

Mỹ heart goes out to the entire Olander family and friends. Deke was truly a genuine , friendly, happy- go- lucky kind of guy. Many years since I last saw him but how could you forget such a unique person with a great laugh. May the many happy memories bring comfort in time, I pray.
