Oswald Martel was my best friend as youngsters. We played every day from morning until the street lights came on, just about. He had a fit when I won all his marbles so I gave them back. He laughed and smiled most all the time. Back then we made our own fun without TV. Played war, hide and seek, baseball, outs, puppet shows. Oh, how I made him laugh. We played and never fought. Then, they were the only ones that purchased a television. What a hoot! Only had a few shows but I almost became a resident. I truly loved his whole family as my own. His mom was so very sweet. Butch was too. His sister had the sweetest voice as she rocked and sang to her baby, Robert. I cried when they moved but happy for them at the same time. I miss you my family, I love you all and Francis. Sleep with the angels.

To Kevin, Andrea, Jake and Cassidie,
Kevin I am so sorry for the passiing of your dad, but so lucky that I had the chance to really get to know him. He was quite the man who loved his kids and grandchildren. I will remember the stories and all the times we laughed. Please let the good memories of him get you through this sad time.
