Dear Oliver Family:

Although we realized that Larry Oliver was seriously ill, the news of his death found us unprepared. The business relationship and personal friendship we had have been a source of enrichment and enjoyment to all of us. We will miss Larry greatly here at Servicelink.

Larry Oliver was held in the highest regard by our his coworkers and by many others with whom he worked with in our industry. He set an example that will continue to be an inspiration to us all. Please accept our sincere sympathy for your loss.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Gipson

My heart is broken.  Larry aka to me “PawPaw” was the kindest, funniest, loving man I have ever met. I worked with Larry for a few years and he quickly became my work grandfather. I loved him like my own. I will never forget him!  May be Rest In Peace. 

This  was a great man of God that loved not only his family  but he loved others also God took this great man because to be absent from the body is to be present  with  the lord  Amen 🙏 ❤ 

Oliver family, 

Please accept my deepest condolences over the loss of Mr. Larry Oliver. Our heartfelt prayers and support are with all during this difficult time. 

I had the privilege of working with Larry over the years at Fidelity and Servicelink. He was truly the “gentle giant” who enjoyed people and helping the young people in the Dallas community. 

May memories of Larry and the love of family surround you and provide peace and strength to face the days ahead.

May the God of comfort be with your family.

With love,
Xavier and Esther Woods

Larry was so very kind to his friend and my mother, Mrs. Berniece Carter. They were church members and my mom along with my dad, Taft jr., were long time neighbors and great friends with his parents Mr. Sammy and Ms. Betty.  Dad enjoyed his time with Mr. Sammy and mom enjoyed her time with Ms. Betty. Your bereavement is certainly felt by our family. The Carter’s family loved The Scott ‘s family. My mother would always share how Larry would carry her purse and help her to her car among other kind offers. The Carter family send our sympathy, condolences  and prayers to you Pat and each of your loved ones at this season of deep sorrow. We send our love and our hugs to you all. May the peace of God that passes understanding comfort you and keep you is our prayer.  🙏🏽Neighbors, Taft Carter Jr and Family

Prayers of Comfort to u all...All... Pam Hicks

I was very sorry to hear of Larry's passing. We worked together at Stewart Title and Fidelity Title many years ago. My thoughts and prayers for The Lord's Angels to hold all of his family and friends in peace and comfort knowing he's resting comfortably in The Lord's arms.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are With You during this Time of Bereavement.

Larry Oliver was like many branches on a tree.  He had many friends, many talents, many bridges to cross, and many unselfish deeds of kindness, that are too many to count.  

His lost sheds many tears, like rushing waters, in the deep sea.
His memories will last a lifetime, because Larry was special to me.

We continue to keep the family,  in our prayers.
