Our Freedom Fighter, Our Father and Our Shaft,
Mr. Oliver Lionel Gumbs
~ June 6, 1941 – March 8, 2015 ~
Oliver Gumbs affectionately called “Father” by his close family and “Shaft” by his friends, was a man known for his integrity, honesty and dependability. He maintained an exceptional work ethic, high standards and commendable character which encouraged structure for all who had the pleasure of knowing him. With this in mind, Oliver strongly believed in the quote, “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively” ~ Robert Nesta Marley
We are all blessed to have had him as our father and friend. We have many wonderful memories that we will cherish forever. We will truly miss him! Oliver has now become a memory of love and a treasure that will forever live in our hearts. May he rest in eternal peace.
“What we shared will never die; it lives within our heart, bringing strength and comfort while we are apart.”
