Uncle Oliver you will be missed by many. You was always so fun and kind when us kids would come with grandma and grandpa to Arkansas to see great grandma you always had something for us to do. You will be greatly missed. We love you.
Times at Beaver lake are some of my fondest. You will be missed.
Oliver was my mother's husband for nearly 40 years and dutiful to her until the day she died. He was well respected in our family and liked by us all. He was there when he was needed and for me personally, a hell of a guy. He will be missed.
Oliver was a wonderful husband to my sister, Maurine. It
was a blessing to have him as part of our family. My deepest sympathy to his children and grand children.
