It sadden our hearts to hear this news. We will always remember you. A good neighbor for many many years. You sat on our front stairs with us every night before going home talking with my husband and me. We laughed and cried at so many jokes, stories and had a blast in our past. So many memories are flashing in our minds of you Oli. You will never be forgotten in our hearts.

Love always
