While living there, Oscar worked as a commercial fisherman on Lake Winnipeg. After returning home from the Second World War, he was employed as a carpenter for the Department of National Defense until his retirement. Our family would like to thank Poseidon Care Center for the excellent care given to Oscar, especially the 4th floor staff for making him feel at home during his stay there. A celebration of Oscar's life is being planned for close friends and family. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba, 120 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB, R3C 4G2.

Oscar and his awesome wife Mac, are always on my mind still after many years. Oscar was THE most pleasant person you could ever be around. He would take me quite often for lunch where he worked and learned his great skill at carpentry. They let me stay there for a couple of weeks a couple of summers. I remember clear as a bell, them showing the utmost of respect when Elvis Presley died. Neat story, but all his stories were neat! A super cool guy who probably invented cool, and was too humble to show, or know, it. Thanks so much for your wisdom, to both of you. A lifetime of learning I wish the whole world could have benefited from. Love you Oscar, and Mac, and family. This quote is mine, but the basis is from Mac. For the haters and rude people that steal goods and hearts, and belief in mankind. "Your ignorance and arrogance will come to pass at the Gates, if you have not got past them in the present." Einar Johanson RIP, you both deserve it! - Posted by: Einar Johanson (Great nephew ) on: Aug 02, 2023
