Sympathies to the Olivi family. Doc was a great guy. Remember him not only as my dentist but a handball player at the "Y" and a golfer.
He will be missed but many have great memories of Doc.

My condolences to the family.
One of the best thing about being Nancy's friend was those wonderful Sunday dinners with the Olivi family. The food was delicious but Doc and Mac were the main attraction. I loved them both. I'll miss you Doc.

I just talked about Dr. Olivi the other day. Waited on him every day at the State Sandwich Shop and was his patient for many years before moving to Florida.
