I only knew Oscar for a few months, but what a neat guy he was. I loved hearing his stories. He had a great sense of humor and was such a considerate man. I know he we surely be missed by a lot of people.

What cool old man....amen

My dad, Carl Arndt and Oscar worked together at the U. My dad was a police officer as well. Carl and Oscar were buddies and when I was much younger I enjoyed listening to all the crazy stories the two of them shared. Unbelievable stories!! And, I can't help but think of those they never told!! My dad always thought of Oscar as a cherished friend. When my dad died almost 8 years ago, Oscar was there. I was very young when my dad worked with Oscar but I have never forgotten his voice. I would recognize it anywhere! My sympathy to the family and I hope they have many memories to share and pass on.

I will always remember Oscar and miss him. He was a big part of our neighborhood. He liked to sit and talk and enjoy life. I liked some flowers that were blooming one spring on his property and he dug some up and planted them at my place. My condolences to his family.

Oscar was a friend of may dad, Don Wilson. They worked together and hunted together. Oscar and I were close because of their friendship. I have many memories of the their times together. Oscar attended my wedding in IC in 1972. When my dad passed in 2001, Oscar was the first person I called, I cried, and he helped me get through my loss. I liked keeping in touch with him by an occasional card or call. One call he explained how to make horse radish and another call was to thank him for the venison salami. I just pick out a Halloween card for him a few days ago and was waiting to send it closer to Halloween. The card has a mouse(Oscar) inside a friendly pumpkin looking up a blue bird in a tree(me). The blue bird says, Just peeking in on you to say" Happy Halloween.'

With many fond memories, Jill Wilson-Barnitz.
