Obie was the president of our league when my son was just starting. He umpired

many of our games throughout the years. He would always make nice comments

after the game. What a great man. We will miss him dearly.

:'(  Hard to believe the baseball community has lost such a great man.  We first met Obie many years ago through Pony Baseball and just saw him a few weeks ago at a Varsity game.  He was a great guy who will be missed by all who knew him.  My prayers to his family as they go through this difficult time.  May God Bless You.
