Mr Oswald was one of a kind, I am a good friend of Scott´s and also grew up knowing the Oswald home as a warm welcoming place where I have a lot of great memories. I will miss Bob and certainly am privileged to have been involved with such a good man and family! A life well lived!!! Thank you and I hope there is great big garden up there with your name on it! Bob loved working that garden in the summers!

Scott and I were close friends growing up. I probably spent as much time at his house as I did my own in the 80s. I'm very nostalgic for that time; the Oswald house was like a second home for me. I ate a lot of suppers there, spent dozens of nights there, and rode bikes around Blair street endlessly.
Thanks for making such a warm and inviting home, Bob. Your family meant a lot to me growing up. God bless them all. I'll see you when I get up there!

Iam sad to see Bobby has passed. Many happy kind memories of him from 5th grade on. He was such a sweet kind 'kid' and made many memories. Class reunions were always special with Maryann and Bobby there.
