So sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He was such a great person to be around. He always had a great story to tell. Especially about his kids. He was in my eyes Mr Buick. I was always amazed at how many Buicks were on the roads around McDonald.

To the Oliverio family, you have my deepest sympathy on the passing of your father and grandfather. Although I don't know if I met you but I do remember your dad. My dad always told us great stories too of your dad! Prayers for all of you!

Joanne, Patty & Billy -
So sorry to hear about your loss. I'll always remember the first time I met your Dad. Patty, we were in the basement and he came in with his booming, cheerful voice and was so nice to me. I think we were working on a school project.
I will keep you all in my prayers as you go through this grieving process.
Family is most important, so continue to stick together you 3!!
