Ovila was a devoted husband and father and a cherished
grandfather and great-grandfather who adored spending time with the
little ones. He had a long career as a carpenter and was
always ready to lend a helping hand whether it’d be to help
with construction or renovation projects. He loved being surrounded by
nature and spending time gardening always maintaining beautifully
landscaped yards wherever he lived. He was an avid reader
and very passionate about history taking pleasure in recounting
stories of the past. He was an artist and musician, enjoyed his 4
o’clock beer and appreciated a good joke. He was a sensitive
soul devoted to his God and known as a sweet, good-natured man who
will be greatly missed by those who knew him.
