OLIVER, Edward (Ted) The family is sad to announce the passing of Ted Oliver who succumbed after a lengthy battle with leukemia. Devoted husband of Helen ("Mutt"). He will be deeply missed by his children Randy Oliver (Sarah), Chris Oliver (Julie) and Jane Lawton (Mark) and cherished grandchildren Nicholas, Jacquelyn, Jennifer, Matthew, Samantha, Brian and Claire. Ted was retired from the Public Service after many years of involvement in pensions, hospital insurance, medical care, Indian Affairs and Industry. During his retirement he spent many happy times at the cottage, playing bridge with friends and family, and trying to reach the next level in computer chess. In the later years, most of his time was devoted to caring for and allowing Mutt to live at home as long as possible as she regressed into Alzheimer's. The family would like to extend their appreciation to Ron and Frances Elliott for their friendship to the family. In keeping with his wishes, there will be no funeral service. For those wishing to do so, memorial donations to the Cancer Society of Ottawa would be appreciated by the family. Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 7/11/2008 - 7/12/2008
