God's
speed Ole
Dr. Ole C. Kistler
1933 - 2008
|
Sadly, Ole passed
away August 5, 2008
Dr. Ole C. Kistler
74, was a family physician in Michigan, from 1966 to
2000. His wooden sailboat, Stormy Petrel,
gave him great joy. He shared his enthusiasm for sailing with
his family, giving them numerous fond memories of exceedingly exciting
voyages
Ole was a member of
the AMYA, the Vice-Commodore and Soling Fleet Captain of the Naples
Model Yacht Club, and EC12 Fleet Captain of the Ann Arbor Model Yacht
Club. He was an extraordinary fine sailor, taught
by his father at a young age. He demonstrated his racing
skills many times at AAMYC, winning the 2007 EC12 and Soling Class
Season Championship
Ole was also always
quick to help a fellow skipper, and he built several R/C boats for
skippers too busy or without the skill required to build a fast racing
machine.
Having a loving
wife, family, and friends who loved him dearly, and model boats, was
all Ole needed to live a happy, fulfilled life.
Ole will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Below are a few memories of Ole sailing. |
