    Served with Oliver in the U.S. Air Force during the early to mid 1960’s at Adair AFS, Oregon. Oliver was not only a great friend but also a team-mate on the High Power Large Bore Rifle Team. He was a great friend and the right guy to know if you needed something from Supply… I deeply regret to read of his passing.
