Richard Lee Oliver Sr.'s Obituary
On May 4, 2021 Richard Lee Oliver, Sr., 59, went to be with the Lord at his home in King George, VA.
He was an amazing man who cared for others and would do anything for you. For fun, he loved to go to be with his family and spend time with his beloved dog, Charlie. They would always be together especially during food times. He loved all of his children and grandchildren. He always wanted them to be happy and make sure he was a part of their lives. He loved all of his family with all of his heart. He also enjoyed watching his Redskins or as we call them now The Washington Football Team.
Richard was a cab driver for 30 years for Hildrup and Virginia Cab. He loved driving people and meeting people. It was something he enjoyed and he could always tell you how to get somewhere.
