Obituary
Send FlowersLong-Distance Romance
Sheryl Budke of Cincinnati had no intention of trying to meet a guy when she and her sister went to Daytona Beach on vacation, but two grandfatherly men kept nagging them, so Ms. Budke finally took a walk on the beach with Edward Oliver, from Staten Island. They knew by the next day that they would marry, and they kept the romance going long-distance for two years. They were married for seven.
Mr. Oliver, 31, lived in Jackson, N.J., and was a commodities broker for Carr Futures. He had a 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Emily, and a 4-month-old son, Eddie. Mr. Oliver loved golf and "The Honeymooners" and, most of all, sitting on the couch with Emily, eating reduced fat Cheez-Its. (He was careful about his health.)
His offices were at the New York Mercantile Exchange building, but on Sept. 11, he had an early meeting at the main office in the World Trade Center.
Ms. Oliver received an odd phone call that morning, in which her husband's phone number came up on caller ID but she did not hear his voice. She did not begin to worry, however, until her sister-in-law called.
"I said, 'Oh, but he had a meeting,' " Ms. Oliver said. "Then I ran upstairs and looked in his nightstand drawer and found a business card that said, '1 World Trade Center, 96th floor.' I thought I would die.
"The struggle we did to stay together for two years, and this is all we get," Ms. Oliver said. "It's just not fair."
Guest Book
I'm sitting in my home with your brother & my father, Donny, talking about the fun times you shared when you were younger. God, do I wish I had known you. I envy those who got to know your sense of humor, goofy personality & kind soul. Today marks 22 years since the day you were taken from us. It has taken me 22 years to discover this Obituary and write something to you. Although I do not have many memories of you, I can tell you that your children, Emily and Eddie, are wonderful people.

It has been 18 sad and long years and Ed is still greatly missed and will not be forgotten. Each day may God give the help needed to cope.

To the Oliver family.
I wish I would have known Eddie but for some reason I feel like I do. I visit you Eddie every time I'm at Resurrection. I feel like you know. I'm so sorry your family is going through this 18 years now. I pray for you at this time and know your at peace and found all that is promised to us when we get to paradise.
Someday we will meet. ❤
