Just found out of Oscar's passing. Nothing but good memories. My dad Felipe Quintanilla and Oscar worked together, I think it was Life and Casualty Insurance or Filter Queen in Corpus Christi, and was good friends with my dad. There was plenty of laughter and he always had a way of including us in the conversation. Can't forget the time he talked me into eating raccoon. It's going to be tough telling my dad about his old friend. Our prayers are with Linda and Oscar -- who I have not seen since he was a baby -- and the rest of the family. God send your ministering angels to them at this most difficult time and provide for all of their needs.... Roland Quintanilla (McAllen TX-Reynosa MX)
