Oscar Gustave Mayer

For Oscar...R.I.P.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

We are saddened to hear of Mr. Mayer's passing. Our sincerest sympathies to the Mayer family.

The Staff, Officers, & Directors

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Working my way through medical school as a bellboy at the Drake Hotel, Mr.
Mayer always gave me a 5$ tip, that was ample money in 1977. He was a true gentleman, always kind and talkative, he told me the whole story of the business even though I was a lowly hotel employee. I really respected him, and have thought of him often the last few years. Such a legacy we should all leave.

Loved your hot dogs.
Lonedog.

We are sadden by the news of Oscar's death. Mary and I were privileged to know Oscar and Rosalie during our happy days in Madison. Small world that it is we now attend church with grandchild Patricia Mayer Lewis and great-grandson Carl Dolan Lewis is in John's Rite-13 Sunday School Class.

My balogny has a first name.... what a great man and company that touched every American heart and mind. My sincerest Condolences to a great Business man that made America great! God Speed my friend!

I am sad to hear that a man who was with a wonderful company has passed. May he be remembered always for the jingle, and the wonderful product that the company put on the dinner tables across the nation. In honor of him, I wore my hotdog earrings. Made people smile. J. P., Pennsylvania

I remember Oscar & Rosalie well from a trip we took on the Baltic Sea back in 1996. He was every bit the gentleman to be partnered with a truly elegant lady. Among many rememberances I recall one morning of really rough seas off of Danzig (Gdansk) Poland, with the boat pitching and yawing, Everyone was terribly seasick except for Oscar, Rosalie and myself. WE DECIDED TO HAVE BREAKFAST AND ATE FRIED EGGS, HASH-BROWNS, HAM AND BACON AND SAUSAGE (OF COURSE) while crockery and glassware all around us wound up on the floor. What fun we had!
I will miss Oscar so much, but I'm glad for the memories. Condolences to his family.
