My sincere condolences. I’ve known Ole for about 35 yrs. I spoke to him early January and though I knew of his suffering, I did not expect to hear we’ve lost him. My heart grieves. He had a wonderful sense of humor and. He was a classic.
I grieve for him and pray his family get through this. May he Rest In Peace.
Ole Dam-Mikkelsen
