Grandpa Oliver will be missed by so many. He was such a happy, colorful man that had a story for everything. I very much enjoyed our conversations about him working and traveling with his job to Brazil and watching him take apart that old adding machine. Looking at tons of pictures when we would visit. His fishing stories. Him teaching me a thing or two about fishing. Him having a new lure or some kind of bait waiting for me when I'd come visit. Picking worms from the trees to fish with. I thought of him as my very own. A very warm hearted, genuine, soft spoken soul that will be missed dearly. Fly high, Grandpa Oliver. I love you.
