Sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. We worked together for many years and through some very trying times for both of us. He helped me through some very tough times and I will always be thankful. I am sure he is in a better place today. May God Bless you and your family in a very special way!

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. We worked together for many years at the Laguna Niguel IRS office and Oscar was always so friendly and cheerful – what a terrible loss.

Oscar was my boss for a few years and taught me a lot about life with his interesting stories about what he did and what particular life lesson he learned. He was a kind, funny, and generous man. My husband and I still use the herbal oil that Oscar gave me for the migraines I suffered–I think he would be happy to know his natural remedy is still being put to good use. He left a lasting impression on me and he will be deeply missed. For his family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief. Remember the happy-go-lucky guy we all knew.
