We are deeply saddened by his loss and remain truly honored to have known and worked with Oliver. He
was a genuinely thoughtful person who clearly lived his life with great courage and integrity. We
will never forget him.

I am sending love and prayers to Oliver's family and close friends. I knew Oliver through
Janelle. Upon meeting him for the first time, I immediately could see why Janelle held him in such
high esteem and why she had chosen to work for him and be so loyal to him over the past few years.
He was a one of a kind boss and man. And I know he will be missed very much.

I am very saddened to receive this news. I only met Oliver this past fall when I participated as a
guest lecturer for his NYU class on exhibition design. That breif moment was enough to see his kind
spirit and generous heart. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of this wonderful and
caring man.

Oliver, thank you for teaching me so much of what I know in my work today. And that when I think I
can’t do something I should start learning right away! Thank you for all the books you loaned me,
teaching me how to look at museums in a new way, introducing me to Marcia, giving Squint and Willy
to my mom, the power drill and your continued encouragement in my abilities since I left NY. My
memories of you and the many lessons you shared will stay with me.

There just wasn't anyone on the planet like him and so it is painful to miss him. It seems just
wrong that he is gone. I gave up a long time ago trying to take his measure and just marveled at how
he charged thru life in one new way after another. He loved the things that he could touch and build
and change. But he also peered over the horizon to books, places and music that he couldn't
quite touch, although if there was a horse he could get on to go there he would.
