I'm Mike aie I've known Oscar for the past 14 years and I would like to believe that I'm a father figure to him
00:00:09
I'm Adam azy I've grown up with Oscar over the last 14 years and he's like a brother to me you know I can describe
00:00:15
Oscar in many different ways cuz I've grown up with him so seen different parts of Oscar like when he were before
00:00:20
he was professional athlete you know and he's always been a driven guy he always
00:00:24
was competitive at school you know wanted to do well whether it was academic or in sports he always had the
00:00:30
instinct to do the best that he could and I think that's what drove him to do so well in his Athletics when he took it
00:00:35
on he you know just reached for the heights that he could and uh you see where he got I have noticed he's a man
00:00:41
that sort of if you had to open a release of the air on a balloon and you watch the air I'm releasing slowly for
00:00:49
me that's what has been like watching OS at the moment a man that's full of confidence and his confidence is
00:00:58
diminishing there's never conversation that's ever ended without one of the parties saying I love you I'm hoping
00:01:05
that he'll be able to cope with life what's going to be dealt to him obviously life is not going to be the
00:01:11
same for Oscar at all I fear that he gets a sentence that doesn't go his way but I just hope for the best because to
00:01:18
me he's close to me and my family so you know um I want things to go out in his way but at the same time in saying that
00:01:24
you also feel for re's family and you just you know live lost a daughter and Oscar lost a loved one he sort of said
00:01:32
to me that Uncle Mark I loved her and when he said it he he burst into tears and he broke down and he said I really
00:01:38
love this girl and and I miss her what happened was a tragedy we are a Catholic Family and we pretty religious and we
00:01:47
pray every single day and we burn this candle for Oscar to have life and obviously it's surrounded by a circle of
00:01:53
angels and this is our way of knowing that Oscar is continuously in our thoughts and prayers and we burn a
00:02:00
candle for him continuously in the house
