I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with John on the walmart remodel, He was a very sweet man. I would always hide in the back of walmart and wait for someone from our team to come back there and one time it so happend to be John that came back there, well I jumped out and said "gotcha" and he jumped, and I laughed! Well the next day I went to the back and there jumped out John and I jumped, he laughed picked me up and spun me around! That is only one of many funny stories, I will miss him deeply! I am very sorry for your loss, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

I pray for your family in this most difficult time. My family has suffered several losses over the years and it is not an easy ordeal to get through. I do not know your family but my son happen to be at Walmart that night {he works for BTFD} and he was the one to do CPR on Mr Oliver..My heart goes out to your family.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to John's family and friends. I cannot tell you how much it upset me when I walked through the door at Walmart and saw his picture with flowers on a table. He was such a kind person and there are so many people that will miss him terribly. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
