As Msgr. Prof. Obiora Ike went on with the eulogy memories of Engr.

Yet, amidst the tears, there was also a sense of hope—a belief that Engr. Olz's spirit would live on in the hearts of those he had touched.

Outside the cathedral, beneath the open sky, mourners bid farewell to their beloved friend and benefactor. But even as they parted ways, they carried with them the enduring legacy of Engr. Hugo Olz—a legacy of kindness, compassion and unwavering generosity.

In the quiet moments that followed, as day turned to dusk, the memory of the Pontifical Mass lingered—a testament to the power of faith to provide solace in times of sorrow, and a reminder that love endures beyond the bounds of mortality.

Rest in peace, Engr. Hugo Olz.
