Richard C. Oliphant, age 73, of Key Largo, FL, passed away unexpectedly on October 19, 2011. In his early years, he worked for a company that dredged major channels throughout the Keys, and was part of the crew that placed the Statue at John Pennecamp Park. He was currently employed with Keys Sanitation for over 20 years. As a welder he enjoyed making custom mailboxes and artwork out of steel. He was a major fixture in the Keys but most of all he was a wonderful husband and father!
