Oscar has left a deep void in many of us. This man was LOVED by anyone he came across. I have NEVER seen him say a harsh word to anyone, or have a bad day. So many people will miss him, including myself. Now you can rest Oscar.

Mr.Gillard always took time to talk to me about cars, and lots of other things when I was just a kid. He always wore a smile, and I looked forward to seeing him and listening to his stories. I have thought about him often through the years. May God rest his soul.
