I would like to express my sincerest sympathies to my cousins John, Tracy, Sue, Ginny, and Tim on the passing of your father. Heartfelt condolences are also extended to my dear Auntie Rose. My immediate family and I have had a special relationship with Uncle John ever since his arrival in Rhode Island many years ago. He was an interesting, warm, and kind man. His time with us was not only a blessing but it also gave us the opportunity to know him better. Uncle John was a great storyteller, and I am grateful for the time I spent with him listening to stories about his childhood. They were always funny and interesting; and with his repeated telling, grew more and more elaborate! Only his siblings would know for sure what the true stories were. At the end of each visit, he thanked me for coming and would always end by saying: “and may the Lord be with you.” So, I say to you now Uncle John: Rest in peace. And… “May the Lord be with you.” With love and affection, Arlene

To the Extended Oliver Family and friends, we’d like to convey our condolences on John’s passing. Sadly, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to have the funeral Mass and burial we would have liked and which he deserved. Once this virus passes and things are back to normal, we are planning a Memorial Service in his honor with a gathering of family and friends afterward to celebrate his life. We will have a private burial for him on Monday presided over by a Catholic priest who will invoke the blessings. Until then, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Theresa and the Sena Family
