Dear Debbie, You don't know me, but I'm the fitness instructor at the Midvale Senior Center and have known Oscar for only a short seven months. However, I count myself as having truly been blessed by having Oscar in my life. He was such a lovely man...spirited, warm, friendly, and my greatest cheerleader. He made our exercise class so much fun with his sometimes irreverent and a little bit risque comments. Even though he was often in pain, he never lost the smile on his face and never failed to praise everybody. I miss him so much. Oscar had an extraordinary spirit. He was so loving and accepting of all people and in return was loved by many. I know he's giving the angels in heaven a run for their money...and they're loving every minute of it. I'm envious of them. I selfishly wish I could have had more time with Oscar, but I'm also thankful that I had the privilege of knowing him. With great fondness and sadness, I extend my deepest condolences to you and the rest of the family. Please know that you are in my prayers. Calli Short

Mike and Loyd, My thoughts are with you in the passing of your father. It was a pleasure to meet and work with your father during the Olympics. He always was upbeat and ready to take on each day every morning and our prayers and thoughts are with you.
