I had the opportunity to meet Oliver for first time when passing through Winnipeg several months ago. I liked him right away. He was a person that loved what he did, was clearly good at it and seemed to have an ability to enjoy life. I was saddened and shocked when hearing of the news and my heart goes out to his family and friends. I can only imagine what you must be going through. Please accept my deepest condolences.

I am a complete stranger to Oliver and your family, but as a very concerned citizen of this city and country, I am shaken to the core, by these senseless murders. I have followed the story with alot of tears and anger, and a great amount of sympathy to you all. I could barely see the TV when both mothers spoke at Police Headquarters, as my eyes were full of tears. Deepest sympathy to the family. May God be with you and Oliver, I know will be with you for the rest of your lives, with guidance and love.

I am really glad that I came to lunch in Regina last month-- it was a wonderfully opportunity to meet with Oliver face to face as I had really enjoyed working with him over the phone. We had a great conversation and it was not just confined to the lunch topic at hand! He impressed me and I was looking forward to watching his career progress. I am so sorry that his friends and family have had to suffer this abrupt departure of such a promising and truly nice young man. I know they will miss him and I know we will miss his contribution to our industry. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time Regards Lynn Starkey

I dated a close friend of Oliver's, Jordi Pelosi, for a while and first met Oliver through him five years ago on a trip to Montreal. As a surfer, we immediately hit if off as sharing common interests and his charisma only made it easier to become close friends. We wound up attending the same school together, going out together, and appreciating life together - it wasn't long before he became as a brother to me and to learn of his passing creates a small void in my heart. My daughter has been sick for the past few days and has been home from school so I was not able to pay my respects in person. However, I want you to know that Oliver, and his infectious smile, touched my life in such an incredible way and to lose such wonderful person is a tragedy for mankind. His presence will be greatly missed but he will be held in our hearts always. I now wish that I had made the time to go surfing with him and Jordi in Costa Rica this past December. In his memory, I will be sure to paddle out on my next vacation for a sunrise surf session in his honour.

My deepest regrets to Oliver's family, I was friends with Oliver at Brown School, and met up with him again as classmates through high school. I remember reminiscing about the Brown School days after narrowly winning a game of indoor soccer in gym class. He said, "Man, those were the best days of my life. Just playing soccer all day." While I'm sure he's had many on par since, looking back again now, I don't think they get much better. Any of us kids on that field would have found it impossible to conceive of what has happened, and perhaps it is of some condolence that we still can't. Doug Willcocks

Hi Susan, Alan and family. Just wanted to send on our condolences to you all. You have been in our thoughts about a dozen times a day. The loss must be almost more than you can bare. We are glad that your family is there with you and look forward to seeing you on P.E.I. this summer. I remember talking to my Dad one day when my friend lost a two year old granddaughter, and he said, "Heaven would be an extremely boring place if everyone there was old like me." No doubt this is little consolation to you at this time, but imagine what Oliver can do there for all the old folks; Uncle Addie, Mom, Dad, Uncle Earl, Aunt Jean, Uncle Toot, Aunt Doris, Aunt Minnie, Uncle George, Glen Mason, Uncle Elmer, Johnny Squarebriggs, and many many more people we loved over the years. Our thoughts are with you as you journey through the next while. Love from us both, Janet and Steve.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son Oliver, and so sorry for the tragedy that took his life. My husband worked with him at Russell, and I met him only briefly at their Christmas function this past December. He was a charming and lovely young man, and his love of life and adventure was evident, even in those few moments that I spoke with him. My husband and I are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers as you deal with his passing. Know that so many people throughout the city are wishing you comfort and peace right now.

They will carry his memory and are better people for having known him. We are so very sorry. Elizabeth and Bernie Finkelstein
