Mr. Twist was my neighbor in Strathmere. I have memories hidden in my heart of summer days spent going back and forth between Massey's dock and Twist's dock. Mr. Twist was the nicest man and always welcoming to all of us. I am so very thankful to have known him. My love to you, Mrs. Twist, and to your family. Christine Cogan Cummings

Ollie was a Strathmere man - 100%. His smile and lively sense of humor will be sorely missed on Bayview Drive. Condolences to Connie and to the family.
Ella, Roy and Jake Diamond
