Your daughter,
Ms.Janet L.Oliver
We loved our great-grand dad so much. Even when he was sick with dementia, we were happy to help take care of him. We fed him, helped him move around, and talked to him just to see him smile. He may not have always remembered us, but we always remembered how much we loved him and we know he felt that love. We'll miss his smile, his touch, and just being with him. He will always be in our hearts. We love you, Great-Grand dad. Your great grands, Kasey, Carley, Kylie, and Carl
My Granddad, a kind, loving, and faithful man who devoted his life to his family and to God. He worked hard every day to provide for those he loved, always putting others before himself. Known for his warm smile and generous spirit, he touched countless lives and was always there when you needed him. A man of deep faith, he never missed a Sunday in church, living his life as a true example of grace, humility, and love. His legacy of strength, compassion, and devotion will live on in all of us who had the honor of knowing him. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
