Odell was sweet, lovable man who had a passion for nature, especially fishing. He loved the Lord, often making crosses and other crafts for his neighbors. In his later years, he was known to be a grandfather of sorts to the younger children who visited the nursing home, who thought of a sweet man that always had chocolate. He will be dearly missed by the many who knew him.
