Oscar proudly served in WWII, after completing his tour of duty, he became a mechanic in Civil Service. Oscar was a diligent man with a hard work ethic, his career spanning over 37 years. Through perseverance, Oscar moved from lead mechanic to eventually becoming the general manager of the motorpool division. Oscar was an honorable man, straight forward, and had a keen sense of humor. He was well liked by everyone he encountered, a quiet man that always had the perfect one-liners that would leave a smile on any face.
