   It is with sorrow that we are thinking of you just now. How much we loved Olin and we know how much he will be missed. What a joy it must be to know that their is a resurrection day and that we will be reunited with him. What a legacy of love, memories and joy he leaves. Only time will allow you to remember these wonderful thing with less pain. May time pass quickly for all of you. Wish we could be with you just now to put our arms around you and let you know how much we care.

   If you were to poll the students that have gone through Olin’s classroom in the past 40 odd years, I daresay the majority would name him as their favorite teacher during their years at UCA. I know he was mine. And not just while I was a student there. Whenever I visited the campus in the years since, Mr. Peach was the one I always sought out to visit with and share what had been going on in our lives. His steady, good natured presence in the classroom touched the lives of thousands of us over the years, and his memory will continue to enrich our lives for the rest of our time on this earth. As with many of those who have gone before us, I look forward to a brighter day when we will be re-united with him in a much better place. Love and prayers to his family.

   I have such wonderful memories of Mr. Peach. He was my favorite teacher back in the 60′s. My thoughts and prayers are with his family who will miss him very much.

   What a great loss. He will be missed and never forgotten. I will never forget hitchhiking through Pasco when he stopped and picked me up.

   An icon for sure with regard to UCA. He has forever made an impression on our hearts as well as did his family. Our heart goes out to each of you at this time. May you be filled with the kind of peace knowing this is temporary.

   I am so sad to hear of Mr. Peach’s passing. What a great loss to his family and all that knew him. I have such fond memories of the mission trip to Nuevo Casas Grande, Mexico in probably ’90 or ’91. He was such a fun and bright leader on the trip. I remember our group sending him on a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. His excitement about that was both rewarding and contagious. There were moments now and then when he seemed like a kid wrapped up in an adult body. And one could always tell that he really cared for his students and wanted to get the best out of them. My prayers and thoughts are with his family and colleagues at this time. Oh what a glorious day it will be when we see all those we dearly love and miss ascending in the clouds to meet our Saviour!

   Mr Peach and his wife took a bunch of us to Europe in 1972 following my Senior year. What an opportunity for all of those who have participated in such adventures over all the years he served. He will be missed greatly.

   Such good memories. My Europe trip in 1974. 2 Phillipine mission adventures in the 90′s. He took our Devin to Borneo also. He was committed to helping everyone experience life to it’s fullest. May we try to follow the example he set as we go through life on this earth so that we will have good things to share when again we meet in the clouds.

   Viola and family,, I am so sorry to hear of the sadness that has come to you. Olin was a great guy. I have heard so many good things since about him since we last saw each other many years ago. I know there is nothing that can be said to make this better. Just know so very many people are thinking and praying for you at this time.
   Do hang in there. dying isn’t the hard part . being left without the one you love is when we can only hold on with Gods love and help.
   My thy heart goes out to you.. An old friend.. Donna
