O.S. was a great guy. He loved to laugh, and ohers loved to listen to his stories. Working with him was a real pleasure, and fishing with him was a real trip. O.S. was a good company employee, and his talent in art was appreciated. He took pride in training newer employees. He was respected for his work ethics, and he rarely missed working. O.S. never forgot to send his friends cards at holiday time. He will be missed.
