Helen,
This is Kathy Finley, Maury and Gerry Hickey's oldest daughter, and I wanted to say how sorry I was to hear of Omar's passing. We haven't seen you in a long time, but I remember you both and remember, I think, being at your house when I was a girl. Much peace to your family at this time.

My prayers & thoughts to the family. Omar was my boss at the phone company. He was always a gentleman & highly thought of & respected. I worked with Helen on the Service League at Sacred Heart Medical Center. A wonderful family & what a blessing when a loved one leaves so many nice memories. May God's promise of eternal life bring you comfort.

Very sad to read about Omar this morning. We attended St. Phillips for several years and Omar was like a Grandpa to my then two little girls. We truly feel blessed to have known Omar. God Bless.

I met Omar in Spokane, 1961. He was my boss and mentor. However he taught me much more. Through the years, I'm sure he remained the consummate gentleman.
