Oliver enjoyed fishing, playing solitaire and euchre. He was well known for tinkering, and for tearing things apart to see why they were broken. You could always find him push mowing his lawn or picking up twigs in the yard, overall, he enjoyed light yard work, and feeding the birds. You could say Oliver was a simple man. More than anything he was an amazing husband, dad, grandpa, brother, and friend who will be greatly missed by many.
