Let each tear that falls be a gentle reminder that you and George truly loved each other, and made such a meaningful difference in each other's lives, and that is a Gift that no loss or sorrow, or time or distance can ever take away.

I had the pleasure of being a client of George's when he was in the real estate business and I was looking for locations for retail gasoline outlets. The name "George Oliver" is synonymous with the highest possible ethical standards. George exuded a calm dignity which when combined with his ability to put complex pieces of a deal together in a logical, reasonable, fair fashion made him a pleasure to work with, even when he was working for "the other side." I am honoured to have called him friend. - Posted by: Sheldon Bowles (Business Associate ) on: Jul 18, 2015
