Besides being a dear friend, I know I can say this and everyone will agree, If you ever worked for or with Oscar there was some thing about him that you always wanted to do your very very best for him. He was a natural leader. That is one of the best quality's you can say about some one. Oscar, rest well, you are going to need it. You are going to see every one you have ever known tomorrow. Thanks for being you. 106....10-6
