WATERBURY – Manuel Oliver, age 84, passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side on Monday, December 26, 2022 at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury.
Manuel was born March 29, 1938 in Villa Franca, Portugal son of the late Arnold and Ezilda (Cardosa) Oliver Sr. He graduated from local schools and then proudly served his country in the United States Navy.
