I miss you Daddeo. Every morning I wake up and see our photo together. Our lucky penny. You are in the sun, the air, the rain, the grass, the ocean, but mostly in the the music, the soul of life. In the words that we loved and how we loved to dance and party. I will always be dancing with you in my heart. Your friend and daughter##imported-begin##Cheryl Giangrande##imported-end##
It seems like yesterday that I first met Odie back in 1980. I have lots of fond memories working on job sites or working out issues for projects he was on over the phone when I could not be there with Odie. I'll always remember the long conversations and great stories he told after hours when working in the field. I'll never forget the day Challenger exploded over Florida after launching from Cape Kennedy as Odie and I were on the phone when it happened. He was working at a plant in Orlando, Fl for AME and gave us a vivid report from the roof of the Inland Container plant. My best wishes for the family in this time of sorrow as I'm sure like me, the loss of that great smile and the great love of life Odie had, will always be remembered. God Bless, Eric##imported-begin##Eric F. Metzler, former VP of Mfg with AMEI##imported-end##

To Mary, my sister,
Its been a long long struggle for you Mary, you took such good care of Odie through these many months. You gave him comfort, love and companionship that must have given him strength to carry on and not give up.
May you find comfort and peace and maybe even laughter, when you think back of all you shared for 26 years!
Together you made a great team.
I love you
