Robert Oliver Obituary

Robert Oliver Jr.
Jamaica, Ny - Robert Oliver Jr. (son of Robert Oliver, Sr. and Mary Stephens-Oliver - born in Little Rock, Arkansas) was a Korean conflict war veteran and a proud supporter of these United States of America. Tack served as a church Usher and president of the Usher Board at New Covenant Church of Christ in Queens Village, NY - devoting every Sunday of his life to such positions without fail. Robert was a prolific bowler and comedic entertainer (by hobby), an engineer and tinkerer by extended genius, but evermore, a community activist and humanitarian. In the latter years of his life, he became a financial officer and treasurer for multiple organizations and businesses throughout Southeast Queens and multiple South Carolina communities he worked within and/or volunteered with (including the Saint Albans Civic Association, 195th Block Association, Veteran of Foreign War & American Legion Posts, etc.) - working overtime to free communities from financial debts and emotional traumatic weights alongside his loving wife, Martha Ellison Oliver. Together, Martha & Robert helped shaped the community of St. Albans for their child (Robert Rodney Oliver III), grandson (Amir Angelo Garcia Ellison "Royale" Oliver), and countless other citizens - hoping to create new amounts of generational wealth and wisdom every day post-purchasing their first home within the St. Albans community in July of 1961.
