shares how the FOP is helping te
family of Officer Rob Oliver.
For those who knew Officer Rob
Oliver best, as time goes on,
lasting memories only grow stro.
My dad is was an amazing man
what his daughter remembers.
He served his community the
selflessness for many years.
He's a very disciplined man.
The officer worked with Jeffersonville
Police before joining LMPD.
He also served in the military
and LMPD honor guard he enjoyed.
Everything about the Police Department,
even though he was ready for retirement,
ready for a retirement that
tragically would never come
back. In March, Oliver lost his
life from complications of a
motorcycle accident. Losing my ,
it's hurt a lot, but
it's made a very big impact on
my life as well and my kids.
The family now, seeing the impact and reach
of Oliver's life and we just like to take
care of our own people as a community,
comes together for one of their.
And we're just raising money from the
family to help pay bills and you know,
help out with family issues.
Raising money and remembering Oliver the best
way they know how with the things he loved.
A poker tournament,
an hours long motorcycle ride.
He just loved motorcycles.
He loved everybody.
Just a great guy,
great officer, never met.
Never met a Everybody met.
He is like he knew you for year.
You know it's
all gone. Rob Oliver's spirit lives on. And
those who carry on his name in Louisville.
