Words can't express how much this man will be missed.... the loss that we all feel... the moments we encounter in the future when we wish "he was here"... He truly was a great man; through the good and the bad he did the best he could and this with the "burden" he had to bear. I am grateful that our paths crossed and that we shared life. Knowing him has enriched our lives, he impacted so many of us with his generous heart. Omar, you will be missed and never forgotten. Thank you for being you, With love ~ Kathy, your children and Gabi.

DeLeon Family and Friends;
I have known Omar for some 20 plus years since he came to manage Mr. Chen's apartment buildings on Capital and Farmington Avenue. We shared much of life together, Frenchie (our little robust French friend), gardening, marriages, births and deaths. Omar embraced people, his friends were his family. He truly is a gentle, generous, God faring soul. We shared an expression "I am truly the richest person in the world to have you as a friend."
Until we meet again, my honorable friend.

Wow... I truly can't believe he is gone. Omar was greatly loved by many and has left behind a legacy. We will keep you in our hearts forever. I remember, even when Omar could barely stand, I'd wake up to see him outside my kitchen window raking the leaves, but of course, expecting a glass of hot chocolate! These are the good memories that I will always keep of Omar. You are now in the promise land- free and able to soar through the sky.

Desiree and Family:

Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what is to be, a resting place along the road to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, we all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some, the journey is quicker, for some, the journey is slow.

And when the journey finally ends, we will claim a great reward and find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.

May The Lord Comfort The Family, And Give You All Peace Knowing That Your Love One Is Resting With The Lord.

Love Always
Dee-Dee & Family

OMAR WAS A GREAT GUY. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN WE CAME TO CT AND LIVED IN A SHELTER. OMAR FOUND OUT ABOUT OUR SITUATION AND GOT US OUT OF THE SHELTER AND INTO A ONE BEDROOM APT. HE TOLD US THAT WE CAN STAY THERE RENT FREE UNTIL WE FOUND SOMETHING BIGGER. AND HE FOUND US A BIGGER APARTMENT. THAT WAS THE TYPE OF MAN OMAR WAS, ALWAYS LENDING A HAND WHERE EVER NEEDED. THANK AGAIN OMAR.
