Oliver E. Friedlein 1938-2012
|
|
|
Mr. Friedlein was a Railsplitter and a talented woodworker.
He also loved to draw and work puzzles. Above all he was
a family man and deeply loved his children and grandchildren.

Oliver joined Taralan as Vice President, Sales
and Marketing and a member of the Board of Directors in the mid
70’s and was a driving force behind the expansion and ongoing
development of Taralan’s agronomy support programs, which
spanned 38 U.S. states and 4 provinces of Canada during his tenure.
No stranger to promoting leading edge concepts
and methodical, persistent effort, Oliver successfully applied
his abundant enthusiasm, creativity and leadership abilities to
inspire thousands of farmers, hundreds of fertilizer dealers and
a network of over 60 Taralan Field Agronomists to reach higher
levels of performance by applying advanced agronomic and business
management concepts.
Clients and coworkers quickly came to appreciate
Oliver’s genuine respect for and interest in them and their
success, as well as his positive attitude, integrity, and seemingly
inexhaustible energy. His no-nonsense approach to work was enhanced
by a deep love of people and appreciation for their unique perspectives
and gifts.
Those of us who were touched by Oliver are deeply grateful for
his warmth, tireless support and many significant contributions.
