Wow! This is a shock. He died still young. I was talking to a friend about him and his books today. I searched to get the correct spelling of his last name and discovered he had passed on. My deepest sympathies to his wife and family. Oscar and I worked for the same company in the 80's. I enjoyed his wit and sense of humor.

Bronx Community College may have lost a 'star' but has and will always remember Oscar Hijuelos as one of our own. Even though we all live and exist in different social, ethnic, religuos and geographic communities, it is how we build and establish our collective relationships that make us a 'true' community. This is Oscar's legacy for not only bronx Community College but the world.
