As a former business partner of my dad's, "Uncle Oscar" knew me way before I knew me. He and Claire and their kids were always a part of my life. When my own parents died, he and Claire were typically lovely and supportive. I have a deep and eternal fondness for the Soifers, and know his memory will be for a blessing. Love, stuart

My Mother was married to Harry Soifer (Oscars Brother). I remember going over to his home as a child. I still remember the hanging bed in his beautiful home. I last talked to Oscar while at Lowe's in Miamisburg around 2005. I wish I would have shared more time with him and extended family.
