In Memory of Peter "P.J." Oleson

My nephew, P.J. (Peter Junior), recently his lost battle against drug addiction, and if you know anything about addiction, or perhaps someone who has fought their own, you know it really is a battle, and this is meant to help someone with theirs, in P.J's memory. All funds raised will go to the Herren Project in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, which provides help and support in recovery from and prevention in substance use disorder.

P.J. was a boy’s boy, with the unique habit of putting shrimp in his pockets to save them later. More often than not they were dipped in sauce, creating quite a site much to the chargin of his mom and dad, Beth and Peter. He was very active, and if he wanted to do something, it had to be ok if it meant he was going to have fun, like “sliding into home” in a front yard, thus staining his Sunday best khaki pants, but that didn’t matter to him. What mattered to him was that he get to where he was going, but as he got older, he got into trucks, Fords and Mustangs, just like his dad. He was a New England sports fan, and particularly of the New England Patriots.
