John Ohlandt Obituary

Pam and the family:

Dangit! We just learned about Johnny's passing. Please accept our condolences on the loss of one of the finest people our family was blessed to meet. He fills our memories of the family's time in Charleston, and even now I can't think about him and Daddy swapping fishing stories without smiling.

So sorry to read about Johnny's death. We send our sympathy to sister Estelle and the family. Claude and JuAnne Weeks

Dear Pam & Dr. Johnny and family,
Dicky and I are very sad to hear of your lost. We will say a prayer for him. Take care, Dorothy & Dicky Benson

On behalf of the family of the late Charles E Ward, I extend our sincere sympathy to the Ohlandt family. I would like Henry and Beth to know they are in our thoughts and prayers.May God comfort you at this sad and difficult time.

Saddened to hear of Johnny's passing. He was an exemplary citizen of our great community and his efforts to preserve the Morris Island Lighthouse certainly changed the conversation about the importance of Lowcountry preservation initiatives.

Dear Dr. Ohlandt,

I was so sorry to read of your father's passing. Although I didn't have the privilege of knowing him, he clearly was an extraordinary man and I know you will all miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family at this difficult time.

Dr. Ohlandt,
We are so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Our thoughts are with you.

The one and only time I met Mr. Ohlandt was a few summer's ago at the Morris Island Lighthouse. It was a beautiful day and while walking on the sandbar I noticed a figure at the lighthouse door. At first we thought it was my imaginaiton but the more closely we got to the lighthouse we realized there was someone there. Mr. Ohlandt greeted us at the door. We were fortunate enough to sign a release and go up the steps to the top. He was also expecting, I believe it was his nephew, who was going to propose to his girlfriend at the top of the Lighthouse that afternoon. We, of course, did not stay for that, but were so happy to have had that experience with him. We have often thought of that day, and how gracious he was to us both. May his family and close friends be comforted at this time. Even though I only knew him for a moment, it will be treasured.

Our sincere sympathy for the entire Ohlandt family.

Dearest Mrs. Ohlandt, Mrs. Lassiter, Pam and Johnny: I am so very sorry for this sad ending of a great chapter. May you all find comfort in each other, and may fond memories live vibrantly inside your hearts. GREGORY JONES

It was my privilege to know Johnny from our time at DHEC. He was a marvelous story teller, a man with a heart for the environment, and a great human being. I am much the better for having known him. My deepest sympathy to all of the Ohlandt family.

He will me missed. He always had great stories and never met a stranger. I will never forget the boat trips out to the lighthouse with him.

He will be missed. Oh how I enjoyed talking and working with Johnny. His commitment to helping protect the lighthouse and the lands he loved will never be forgotten. We appreciate all he and his family have done for SC and the lighthouse.

Pam, Johnny, Sissy, and family,
I am saddened to hear of the passing of Johnny. I will always remember his gentle smile and sense of humor on the rare occasion when he would drop by the bank on James Island for a short visit. He was always so cheerful. I know he will be missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. HUGS from Hungary.
