Oliver was a wonderful man and I truly enjoyed working with him at Divi Resorts. We had many lively conversations. I respected his opinion and was glad that we kept in touch over the years. I am so sorry that he is gone.

Oliver was a very special person in my life while I was employed at Divi Resorts. His confidence in my abilities and mentoring enabled me to excel in my occupational field beyond my expectations. Later after Divi Resorts and my return to the United States, Karl and I spent many a weekend evening dining at Glen Wood Pines with Oliver, catching up on events since our last meeting and just enjoying each other's company. We will miss him dearly and share in your sorrow.
