Grandpa Onni will be missed by all. I feel fortunate to have known him for the time that I did. It’s not offten that you meet a person who will accept you with open arms! He will always remain in my heart! All my love to Delores, Mom, Aunt Shirley, Aunt Alisa and Uncle Mike and families!
Our deepest concern and love go out to Delores and the family for your loss. We remember fondly our years in the Nostalgia Dance Club and later at jazz festivals doing nothing but having fun. We will miss Onni. A very nice guy.
Fond memories of Onni and Delores at Dixieland festivals and of great hospitality at their home. My greatest sympathies to Delores in her loss.
Onni was a wonderful man and friend – he will be so very missed by all of us who were privileged to know him.
