Oscar supported his family by being a civil engineer with Caltrans for many years until retiring in 1984.

Oscar lived a life of faith and was very active in the La Habra United Methodist Church. He also volunteered with and served on the board of La Habra Meals on Wheels. Oscar was an avid reader and loved to sing, listen to music, play Bingo, and above all he loved spending time with his family.
