I had the pleasure to work with Ozzie both as a firefighter and for a while on our off days. I spent most of my time at the Naval Base Fire Dept at fire station one where Ozzie was the captian on the engine most of the time. I was on the Ladder most of the time but we were always a close group and many fun days of training hanging off the side of a water tank or some building made for some real good times. There were few that could walk through a building faster than Ozzie at 2 in the morning trying to find out what had set off the alarm in a building that had no one in it at night. I think he just wanted to get back to sleep. Thats how you feel after 20 years I guess. When Cody industries was looking for someone to help out a few days a week I thought of Ozzie and he went and checked it out. So we worked our days off for some time till the owner sold the company and they took our nice part time jobs and turn the place into a supply company that didn't make anything. I believe working for Cody Industries gave Ozzie the leg up he needed to move on to Dante Valve. He was one pipe hanger maker extraordinaire! I have thought about Ozzie over the years and had seen him at his home a few times before I move on myself. Ozzie you were a good friend, co-worker and Captain. I will always think fondly of the times we spent together helping people, working hard. playing hard at work and sometimes just not following the rules in general. I look forward to seeing you again!

Ozzie was assigned to the Naval Base Norfolk as the Fire Chief. He came on the ship I was assigned to (USS Canisteo AO-99) to do an inspection. I was Officer Of The Deck at that time. I was really surprised to see him. The Navy meant a lot to Ozzie. My deepest condolences to his dear wife and family .
