Oscar H. Truell Jr.

Oscar would have been so proud of his beautiful daughter today; her stories made us cry, laugh and cry again. I was lucky enough to have Oscar as a boss at both the Willow Grove Home Depot and HD Supply in Levittown. I have had many bosses through the years, but none as hardworking, thoughtful and helpful as Oscar. He listened, shared and taught; Oscar was the boss who led by example, jumping in to assist and making the rounds to see how he could make things better. I remember in Willow Grove, telling Oscar the display team who reworked the department wasted my much needed space. I showed him where I could use more shelving for stock. After continuing to my next area for freight I returned..... there was Oscar putting up new shelving. He was the BEST boss I ever had! He was well respected by all. I teased him that I was going to hang a 5cent sign (like Lucy's in Charlie Brown) because everyone stopped to talk to him. You knew he would help you and you were confident that what you said would not be repeated. God bless your family and thank you for sharing Oscar with all of us.

My deepest condolences to Oscar´s family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Oscar was a great friend and mentor, always trying to teach others whom he saw potential in, to believe in themselves and to be the best they could be. Oscar played a major part in getting me back in the church and reading the Bible. He always told me to "Have Faith" Although I will miss our long talks, laughs and helping him with computer issues, I know he is no longer suffering and is home with Jesus. I´m blessed to have had him in my life.
