looking for the part of the eulogy said at marvin davis' funeral that
was attributed to laurence olivier( but not sure) " just around the
corner.

I am confident that I know the source of the quote you seek. Many
years ago, I read this poem aloud at the funeral of a friend. It was
written by Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918), the Canon of St. Paul?s
Cathedral.

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away
into the next room.

I am I, 
and you are you;
whatever we were to each other, 
that, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used,
put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air
of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be
the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, 
without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all
that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you,
for an interval, 
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.

All is well.

Here you'll find an interesting article about the history of the poem,
which began as a prose segment of a 1910 sermon on death:
