Truly sorry to hear of your family's loss. Oliver was a grande lad and will be sorely missed but ne'er forgotten. We were lucky enough to have had our wedding rehearsal dinner in your pub many years ago, and we will always remember his warm and generous kindness. Rest easy, Oliver. Peace to you and your family. x
