Oscar will never be forgotten. He was an inspiration to me from the day I shook his hand. He was a family man and a good friend to all.
To the Jiminez family, thank you for supporting him and letting him continue doing what he loved. My prayers and best wishes go out to all of you.
He is never gone, just away.
