Always an active athlete and dedicated golfer, Ollie gave back to the game of golf, through serving on Metropolitan Golf Association Committees and as a board member of the Westchester Golf Association. He served as president of the Westchester Seniors Golf Association. Oliver was a co-recipient; with his wife Eleanor, of the Metropolitan Golf Association’s Distinguished Service Award. As a long time member at Metropolis Country Club he served as president of the club from 1977-78. A man of few words, when spoken, they were always well thought out. His advice was often sought after, and appreciated when offered. His finest accomplishments reside in the family he loved and raised, and the many friends he made and with whom he shared his life. He will be missed by all who knew him. Donations in his honor can be made to The Westchester Golf Association’s Caddie Scholarship Fund.
