Uncle Ozcar,
I love you and will miss you. I am glad you had a loving family and they made you happy. I pray you are in God's glory and with Abuelita. I will never forget that you always attended Dad's masses. There was never a dull moment when Uncle Ozcar was around.
Your sobrina,

My condolences to you all. Ozcar was a sweet friend and I will miss him dearly. He always mad me laugh. He would call me just to see how I was doing and I would do the same. He called a couple of weeks ago to tell me he wasnt doing to good but wanted to take care of his sons tickets because he didnt know how much longer he would be around. He had such strength and always made me laugh. Always talked about his family and how much he loved spending time with them. I have comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. My last words to him were " I love you " and that he was always in my prayers. May you rest in peace my friend.

I met Ozkar (as he liked to call himself) when I first started working at the Courthouse back in 1992. He was something else. He had a huge heart and a loving smile (until you made him mad lol). He always told me I resembled his daughter LaLa. I believe that is why he would reach out to me. His love for his family was overwhelming. My condolences and prayers go out to the family. He will truly be missed.

I remember Oscar at the courthouse busily filing papers and saying hi to his many, many friends! I was one of them. Oscar was an icon around here and he will be sorely missed. My condolences to the entire family... Oscar was a good man!

Oscar will be greatly missed. He would always walk into the copy area in the 5th floor of the courthouse and brighten our day. I was blessed to know him and loved when he would come in and always sang to us. You will be greatly missed Oscar. Like you would tell us, "Jesus loves you and I love you."

Mom, Melis, & Lynn, I am still amazed at how 'grandpa' planned his entire funeral services. I know your hearts are broken but we will get through this together. I'm just so happy that we were all given the opportunity to take care of him so much more during his last two years. I know we will continue to share our memories of dad for years and years to come...and we have many!! :) Thank you Jesus! I love you 'big daddy'!
