He eventually secured a position with Atlantic Sugar Association. He worked as the company’s labor camp manager until his retirement in 1994. Oswald was a devout Christian. He served the Lord under the leadership of Pastor Trevor Ellis at Grace Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ in Belle Glade, FL, as a Sunday School Teacher. He loved the Lord wholeheartedly. In his spare time, he read the Bible religiously, quoting scriptures as part of regular conversations. He loved the Bible and would often read it aloud as he considered it poetry. One of his favorite Bible verses was II Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Oswald understood the importance of talking to God frequently, and made sure he taught his family to do the same.
