They farmed by Dale, WI, until 1990 when they sold their cows and machinery.  Oscar had worked for John Jackley of Winneconne for a few months after graduating from high school, and in the fall of 1961, his folks purchased a farm, north of Dale on Pine Grove Rd and Oscar came home to help run the farm.  Oscar started driving can milk truck for Pankow's, Cheese Factory, Hortonville, in 1963, for about 1 ½ years.  He actually had to wait until his 21 ^st birthday in order to be able to get his school bus driver's license, he drove school bus for 24 years.  He then started driving a bulk milk truck for his son-in-law, Ken Mielkie Trucking, Brownsville, WI in 1986.  He also hauled milk for Steve Bley Trucking until his retirement in December 2020.  Oscar was always liked by everyone because he followed the Golden Rule, and he never had any enemies.

Oscar loved to watch his Bluebirds raise their new families each summer.  The Hummingbirds also added some comedy to his bird-watching hobby, because they would chase each other around the yard and sometimes, while we were sitting on our two seated swing, they would fly between our heads.  (That could have been dangerous, but it made us laugh!)  What a joy to watch God's precious little creatures perform for us.

He also liked to play cards and be with family, especially his precious family and loving wife who always put him first in her life, next to our Lord.

May God bless each and every one of you in your marriages and lives, because you were a blessing in mine, Love to all of you! Dad (Oscar) (Gpa) & Great Grandpa
