Dear Chris, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I have thought of you often over the years. The thing I remember most about your relationship with OJ is how very much you loved him. A love like that is so hard to find and you, my friend, have been blessed over and over.
OJ was the heart and soul of the annual Riverwest Garden Tour. His warmth and enthusiasm will be greatly missed by his Riverwest friends and neighbors. Strength to Chris with this loss of the love of her life.

Kenny was one of the nicest men we ever knew. He always had a smile and a kind word whenever we met. It’s so terribly sad we won’t see each other again. Love to his family.
My memories of O.J. “Jay” are vast and extensive. I knew him for 20 years and we became instant friends at the Milwaukee County Zoo when I first started there in the summer of 2000. He definitely took me under his wing and showed me many things, I helped him during Zoo A La Carte
