I had the privilege of meeting Oscar last year, and got to know him over the course of this past year. I could always have a great conversation with him about lots of things, but rock music in particular was a frequent topic. We would discuss Kiss LOTS, we would talk about different shows we had been to. We would also talk about family. How much he loved his daughter and proud of her he was. He would always say that he didn't want her or his sister worrying about him. I would always say that they worry " because they love you so much" and every time he would smile and say "yeah, I know". He knew that yous loved him, and he held that close. To know that you're loved that way is one of the greatest gifts. Oscar was so loved by so many, and will be deeply missed by us at Fairview. My deepest condolences to each of you; thank you for sharing your Dad, your Brother, your Uncle, your Son, your Friend with me and each of us at Fairview.

I had the pleasure of working with Oscar at Fairview. He was always so kind and caring with the other staff and residents. I remember he would come to all the programs each day when he could and always had a positive attitude and open heart which brought such light to those around him.
