Sorry to hear about your families loss. I remember when my mother and father bought a house from Oscar in the middle 50's and then another one in 1961. I do not think anyone built a better home.

OSCAR, Sorry to read this about your wife. I only meet her one time and that was when I sold you a new truck and she insisted she pay for it on a credit card so she could get the air miles and paid the card off the next day what a gal. JACK BATY JR.
