We are all saddened to learn that Mr. Ocheltree has passed. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Phyllis, Gary, Craig and all of their families.
Don and Phyllis were great friends of our late Mom and Dad, and because of that bond we came to know the Ocheltree kids as well. What a great set of parents they had, as Don and Phyllis set the example they would follow. It was always a good day when Don and Phyllis visited our home, because you knew our parents were so happy to be able to spend time with them, which wasn't often enough between all of their kids combined. I remember Don being such a gentleman and always interested in what we were up to individually, as youngsters and later as we grew into our teens and early adulthood. The Ocheltrees are the salt of the earth.
One thing that always struck me. You could tell by the sparkle in Phyllis' eyes that Don was always her guy. His smile was just as reflective about his love for Phyllis.
We were all so privileged to know Don. Prayers, love and peace to his family, loved ones and many friends. The worst part of growing old is losing track of good people because of life, and then hearing they have gone on to heaven. My Mom and Dad will be thrilled to see him again.

Sincere condolences to Phyllis, Gary and Craig on Don's passing. He was (as are all of you) a part of our family celebrations and life events since I can remember. Always cheerful and smiling. The Ocheltree family were extended family members, as my siblings can attest. My prayers are with you.

We would like to add to our sister Barbara's condolences in that we too are sorry to learn of Don's passing. Don and Phyllis were long-term friends of our parents (Dick & JoAnn), always very supportive of our family, and are the godparents of at least two of our siblings. And Don and Phyllis attending our wedding back in 1986. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ocheltree Family.

Don was my supervisor when I was a welder at Cherry-Burrell in the very early '60s. He was definitely one of the better memories I have of working there. I was young and green and he proved to be very patient. I am very sorry to learn of his passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences.
