Although I only knew Oscar for a few short years, my Dad and I enjoyed our Saturday morning visits to the house. No matter how bad he felt, he would always have a huge smile for all to see. Eric, sadly in the past year we have both lost our fathers, but we still have each other and I hope to make the most of it with a super friend like yourself. If you need any assistance I am ALWAYS there for you…Your bud…Billy .Mr Hockey. Perry. Also, my Mom sends her deepest sympathy as well.
Although we only had the pleasure of meeting Oscar once He was so kind and genuine when he attended a trial day at The Club. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and I must say to Eric, what a wonderful son you are. Please remeber the good times, in time they will bring a smile to your face.
