I was saddened to hear of Mr. Omann's passing. I am so glad that it was mentioned in the paper that he took pride in mentoring the many kids that worked for him at Stiles Hardware. I was one of those kids and consider his mentoring as part of my success today in the business world. The way I will always remember Mr. Omann is with that red Stiles jacket and a feather duster in his back pocket.
