Ole was a dear Uncle who inspired and encouraged me.  This picture is one in their back yard where he performed many weddings over the years and is indeed a beautiful wedding parlor.  - Teresa Nygard

Glenn,Virginia and Heide Knutson attended Prince of Peace or several years in the 80's. Ole married our oldest daughters Kelley & Holly. We have many fond memories of our years at Prince of Peace and  have never heard anyone sing the Lords Prayer as well as Ole did. He was such an inspiration to all of us and really loved the Lord! People like Ole come around only once in a life time. This photo was taken by Virginia Knutson at Ole's 50th Ordination. - Glenn Knutson

Here is a collage of Ole's 50th Ordination celebration, I'm in Arizona right now and will send some more pictures when I get back home. Click on the image to see the full sized version. - Audris Skuja

I am blessed to be a member of Prince of Peace. I began my journey in 1982 when my little ones were just 2 and 3 years old. Pastor Ole recruited me immediately to join a group for pizza and a calling party to spread the word.

My years with Pastor Ole were memorable. I remember my little guy coming into the sanctuary as Pastor was approaching saying "Holy Moley it's Pastor Ole" Pastor asked me what he said and I told him, we laughed!

Pastor Ole loved the Lord and he was never shy to share the word. I especially enjoyed his sermon's and his special way of including who or whatever came to mind at the time! He will be missed by many.

Heaven just got a little more interesting with the new addition of Pastor Ole! I wish Arlett and the girls all the best! Thank-you for sharing your husband and father with us! - Laurie Jorgensen

When I was a young Mother, both my Jim's and I moved to Lake City, it was too far to go to the church I grew up in Greenwood so we tried Prince of Peace. This was in 1961. The church was a little white wooden church sitting on top of a big green hill of grass. Same location. Big Jim and I really liked the warm and friendly feel of the church, due mainly to Ole, and his sermons were really good; you always got a message from them.

Whenever I think of Pastor Ole, I picture in my mind his sincere prayers,  his twinkle in his eye, his smile, his powerful voice and his loving care  for each and every one of us.

As our family grew, our three kids, Jan, Jeff and Jim, went to PoP for Sunday School and Vacation Bible School and Confirmation. I helped teach Sunday School and VBS. And the church grew too - from the little white church on the green grass hill to the present big beautiful church that is there now - all this growth under Pastor Ole's guidance.

One other thing! A lot of police officers are cynical, mostly due to what they see at work I think. But Pastor Ole's straightforward talk, his lack  of pomposity, his sincerity, his genuine caring, his love of God - all hit  the mark with many others in law enforcement. I think more police officers attended Prince of Peace than any other church! - Marilyn Tagart

Pastor Ole was a tremendous man who loved the Lord and his teachings, as witnessed by  how he lived his life to the fullest. There are so many memories that we cherish. Our children have all been sharing the special times Ole created for them in confirmation, the plays they participated in, the trip to Disneyland. God Bless his memory. Condolences to Arlett and her family. - Aileen and Richard Miller
