“Bobbie Jo , my name is Michael Oliver I am Johnny Oliver’s brother & J.C. Oliver’s uncle I know you really don’t know me that well but i remember the 1st time when I did meet you & Josh it was a few years back at J.C.’s & Alicia’s wedding up near baltimore – man that was a great time – especially the reception I just want to say that Josh left you & Tyler way to soon in life & only 23 that to me is way to young & the thing that is getting to me & hurting me the most is thanking how Tyler won’t have his dad around to watch him grow up into a pre-teen , teenager & young man – adult – & for him not to be there to watch him do things that teenager’s & young men like to do like play sports & drive fast cars , etc. so remember that Tyler now has a angel looking down on him everyday & night & that angel is his dad , I didn’t really know josh all that well either but when I was told of his passing a few days ago it hit me hard like I have known him for years , cause I myself knows how it feels to lose a very , very close loved one cause I lost my dad over a year ago , so remember that you have two great families in the Quade & Gass families that really love you & also some great friends that are here for you & to help you get thur this cause remember Josh is also looking down on you now & smiling – ‘SO TAKE CARE & GOD BLESS ‘”
