Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Oliver Steckle. Our VON Palliative Care Volunteers always enjoyed their visits and time spent with him sharing comments that he was a “great conversationalist” always interested in what you had to say and interesting to list to. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
Warmest regards,
