Oscar was one of the first friends I made when I started working for Shell 30 years ago. We worked side by side over 15 years. My parents loved him, and we all considered him family. He was there whenever I asked, my graduation, even my wedding to Betty. He and I shared a lot of laughs over the years. We are going miss him!
Betty and I send condolences to Veronica and the rest of the family.
With much love,
Betty and John Owens
Sorry to hear of the passing of my cousin. We have good childhood memories of their family coming to San Antonio every summer for two weeks. We always had a grand time.
