So sorry. Will be greatly missed at our monthly meetings. Always loved his art that was displayed in your home and exhibitions.

Was his father named Walter Odlin and perhaps his mother Margaret Odlin? His father was in the US Army and a prisoner in WWII held by the Japanese. His mother was a Major in the US Army. Anyone who knew him and who his parents were I would appreciate there confirming this information.
