RICHARD BURNS OLIVER MARTIN (JUNE 29, 1982 JUNE 12, 2008) OLIVER MARTIN A beautiful soul in a flourishing and contributing young man was tragically extinguished on the night of June 12, 2008. Born and raised in central Toronto, Oliver leaves Susan, the loving mother of her 'baby boy', his cherished sisters Georgina, Sydney and Ally, step-father Alan Dudeck, father Richard Martin in Nova Scotia and many saddened family members and friends in Toronto and Prince Edward Island, including his grandmother Olave MacDonald in Charlottetown, PEI. Oliver's character was a composite of caring for others, maintaining life-long friendships and family connections, and an enthusiastic energy in his developing career. He was determined to make the most of what life can yield when effort is expended, whether in the office, a social context or on the sports field. Oliver followed his high school studies with a B. Comm. from the John Molson School of Business at Concordia University in Montreal. He was subsequently employed in the financial ser vices sector, for the past year as an Associate at Russell Investments and was pursuing his CFA designation.
