From Tio Efren, shared at Oscar's NYC Memorial Service (Aug 14, 2015):
As a baby we called him camaron, in karate class the teachers called him tiger, in boxing he was known as Joaquin the King, El Rey, some people called him Canelito, after that his friends give him the name of Flash, then his Artist name was Devious. Many nick names. But now I call him my angel baby. Oscar, I won’t say goodbye -- I will say see you soon. It might be hours, days, weeks, months, or years. It’s just a matter of time. To me, you are alive -- not because I can see you, but because the footprints you left are well-marked. Some people can live so many years but never leave footprints. You did in so many ways. Your charisma, your smile, how lovely you were, respectful, you were wise at a young age. There are so many memories we share, and they are so alive until we meet again. They can take you away from me physically, but the love that we have for each other as family? Never. Love you mijo, see you soon.
