Richard Ole Martinson

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Richard. Gone but not forgotten a wonderful promise in God's word the Bible for the loved ones we have lost in death to be fulfilled very soon by his son Jesus Christ right here on a brand new Paradise Earth it will give you hope and comfort during this difficult time John 5:28,29; Revelation 21: 1-5.

So very sorry to hear of this. I worked with Ole - when I took a different position within the company, he took over some of my accounts and we spent time on the road for various meets/greets. Ole was a kind person and very respectful with a dry sense of humor that was quite entertaining. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care - Bridget Aldridge

While I never had the pleasure to meet Gretchen's dad, i know he was a very special person and she made him alive for me. He chose a lot of the books for our book club! My heart beats for all of you. Marsha Osborn

I have known Ole since we were 6 years old and have plenty of fond memories too numerous to share. Although we have not been in contact much over the past 40 years, I will never forget the sleepovers and fun times running or riding bikes up and down the street way back then. As we grew up he had a great sense of humor and very quick wit. Although we haven’t been in contact lately, I will miss him. But like everyone who knew him, he will not be forgotten. Best go Judy and family, as I know you have lost a good one. Love you! Mike (Mickey) Brockmann & Christine

I am so sorry to hear about Ole's passing. I worked with him at Alliant Energy and he was a great guy. He helped train me in a job years ago and was very thoughtful, funny, caring, respectful, insightful, and smart. Ole touched my life with his positive words of encouragement and his ability to share his experiences in his career. I have not seen him in a few years, but he is in my memory as a kind and humorous soul. He would walk in the room with a smile and had a talent for making people laugh and feel welcome. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his wife, the daughters he spoke so highly of, and the rest of his cherished family. May he rest in peace. Laura Gumm
