Oscar was brilliant, gentle, kind, and modest. He taught and inspired literally thousands of people throughout his life and career. He was a loving father and husband with a focus and passion for family, Israel, Judaism, economics, and classical music. He will be sorely missed by friends and family. His legacy will live on for generations to come.
