Dear Friends, we apologize for sending information by e-mail but felt it might be the best way to get in touch with you all. Some of you may already heard the news but offically Bill Oswald passed away this morning at 8:40. He did not recover from the stroke he experienced last Saturday.

His passing was peaceful and all three of us boys were with our Mom when she got the news. Viewing will be on Wednesday from 3-7 at Miller Funeral home on the corner of Jefferson and Winton Rd. The funeral mass will be on Thursday evening at RIT.

If you could pass the word along to those we may have missed. Our Mom is doing well and feeling good that he did not suffer or have a prolonged illness.

Thanks and God Bless, the Oswald boys
