Oliver was one of the best friends I could ever ask for.  He was an honest man..a fine example to all who knew him..and he had so many talents…and interests….an amazing human being.  The world has lost a  true asset , and he will be sorely missed by so many people.   Oliver now sits at the doorway to our Lord’s Heaven, and is with us in spirit and in our hearts.  Praise the Lord før His mercy and share with Sharon and all the family in a celebration of Oliver’s life which was filled with love, compassion and kindness.  Oliver…may you rest in peace .  You will be in our hearts and thoughts for as long as we may live.  You left your mark on this Earth, and it was a fine one.                                       – Harold Sauter

Oliver was a great friend, and I’ll always cherish the times we spent together. Whether slogging through the fields at Hershey, visiting the bus museum, or driving around the Pennsylvania countryside spotting Divcos, old dairies, and trolley cars, or just sitting and talking about the various hobbies and interests we shared, he always had wonderfully insightful ideas and fabulous memories to contribute. He was outgoing, friendly, and giving beyond measure, and all our lives were much better for having known him. My prayers and condolences are with Sharon, his family, and his many friends, in Pennsylvania, and across the world. He’s a man who will be greatly missed by all!  Les Bagley
