You will always have a special place in my heart Sonny. No words can express how deep your love touched our family. No more conversations about football my sorry (Cleveland Clowns) or your Oakland (Haters). You will always be a STAND UP GUY to the Gordon family. Sonny you will truly be missed.

Oliver, you had such a warm smile. We went to high school together (Libbey) and been friends every since. I remembered whenever we ran into one another, you always had some good words to say with a smile. No more pain and suffering, rest easy!! To Oliver's Family, you have my heartfelt sympathy.

To the Family of Oliver Williams.
I worked with Oliver for almost 14 years at the Lucas County Youth Treatment Center. We started at the same time in October 1996 in the control booth. We called him Big "O" Oliver was a funny person and was an excellent role model for the young men who were coming in and out of the building to go to various destinations. He was a teacher and a mentor to the young men as he would encouraged them to use manners (i.e. Please and Thank you). He had an infectious smile and always joking around. I heard he was sick and had planned to get in touch with him. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to him . Please know that you are in my prayers.
