Add A Condolence
Condolences to the Eiland family. Oscar was my classmate and junior high hoops teammate. I remember good times, arguments and friendship and more. Oscar was a sharp dresser back in the day, a style I think he got from his older brothers in college back then and he was meticulous in his appearance. I hate that we had lost touch in recent years and I hadn't seen in years. But I cling to the good memories and hate that his life was taken so tragically from him and pray that the family is able to find comfort in this moment. I can't and will not be judge of anyone's life but I hope that my old friend's soul is at rest.❤️🙏🏽

Oscar was a great neighbor and friend. He had his share of issues, but knew the word of God like no other. He was always helpful and kind to my family and I. Thanking God for having known him, and remembering the Bible Study time and the prayers we shared. Praying for his wife and family. May you find strength and comfort in the Lord.
