Oliver was an amazingly generous, kind, humorous, spiritual, stubborn, hard-working, and loving man whom I have known for over 25 years. I remember his "guffaw" and the twinkle in his eyes when he succeeding in cracking people up....he was truly a caring man and I will miss his presence on this earth....my love to Joann and to his family and closest friends.

With my faith placed in Jehovah God, I live from a spiritual foundation of strength, courage and optimism. I know the activity of Jehovah God is at work in me, in my family, in my community and in the world. With clear and conscious intention, I exercise my spiritual faith, I invest my faith in goodness that has no boundaries, and I entrust my heart's desires to Jehovah God. I miss you terribly Sugar Bear, we will be reunited when Jesus returns, until then rest well my love.
