I was shocked to see the news about O'Dell. My husband, James Walley, worked with him in the early 80's at Seabrook and I met him when I would visit. O'Dell was a wonderful man and my husband and I have spoke of him many times the past 23 years. Rest in peace O' Dell!!!!!!!!

I worked with Digger in the 1980's at Seabrook Island and learned a lot from him. I was saddened to hear of his passing. He was a good man.
