Dear Oscar, 

Thank you for all that you have taught me in the textile industry, the schools, and our church experiences. 

Through your leadership skills, creativity, caring for our community, and mentoring me during difficult times (in both of our lives), you taught me life lessons I cherish and live by. 

By example, you have given to our city, long-lasting guidelines, and institutions we all can use daily. 

Thank you for sharing your life, stories, and beliefs with me. You have been an example I try to live up to. Thanks, Oscar, for being my friend. 

Sincerely, 

Noah
