Mr Olivera was a kind loving man. He always made our us feel as if we were part of his family. He was so sweet to my girls and I . We will miss him dearly. Our sincere sympathy to Lola, Linda and the Olivera Family.
We are so sorry and wish we were there to give you a hug. Please know we are thinking of you all.
Lots of love, Duffy, Dan, Patrick, Pierre and Phelan
We knew Doug from his visits to Kirk and Linda, he was always so welcoming, so nice to us and always smiling. What a beautiful tribute video to his life and what a lovely husband, father and Lolo he was. Peace to the family and prayers you always feel him near when you need to ❤️
