I worked with Oscar at IRS for a few years. He was always very kind and respectful to me. I fund him to be very sensitive too. I’m sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and the family.

With deepest sympathies and with the knowledge that the “big guy” is in a better place, “having a party”, and that he left his son here with us knowing that “when God closes a door he opens a window” Our hearts and thoughts are with the son and family, that the “big guy” left his mark “A SON” and a good one at that.
