I am in the dentist's chair now
With the gold that he put in place
He made me smile
And still does.

Dr Oliver was always so kind and sweet to all of the ladies at the office. I will always remember his big smile and his tailgate parties.

I have lost not only a loving father but a good friend. I am both grieving and yet relieved that this loving,talented father went enjoying a successful life but in peace to dance with the angels.
