When I worked in the AEP Htgn office in the mid-80's, Oscar (or "O" as he was affectionately known) was also the captain of an AEP bowling team I was on. He not only taught me something about bowling, he was always helpful and friendly to everyone. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great guy!

Oscar was the consumate professional. He helped us to design and manage the installation of power lines in several upper bracket subdivisions we built. He was a good man. God rest his soul.

My sympathies to you, Frank and Sheila. He seemed to always be such a happy person. Never realized how much Oscar and Frank resemble each other.
God's blessings to the family and peace and love. Paulette

So sorry for your loss, when Oscar retired from the power company, I was hired to take his place. Met him a couple times, he told me if I was going to take his place I would have to learn to shop at Big Lots. He was a nice and funny man. I am sure he will be missed.
