Obituary
"Mr. William Oliver of Bryn Mawr, PA, on September 19, age 82. Our esteemed brother was saved on February 11, 1946, and was associated with the Bryn Mawr assembly for most of his life, other than brief times in Matoaca, VA and in Midland Park, NJ. A large crowd of approximately 250 gathered to honor him. A review of his life was given by Jack Coleman; a message on the influence of his life by A. J. Higgins; and an excellent word in the gospel by Gene Higgins. Ken Taylor closed in prayer and Jon Procopio had a very fitting word at the interment.
He was predeceased by his wife, Elizabeth. He leaves two sons, David (Melody) and Alan (Judy), four grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. The testimony of all was that he was a Christian gentleman marked by kindness, consistency, and care for both sinners and saints. He was associated with the Longport Home for many years, serving as president, and later the GHH Trust, and Truth and Tidings Gospel Trust. He wrote tracts, helped in ministry, and had a world-wide knowledge of missionaries and their fields of labor. “He had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward His house” (2Chron 24:16)."
