Throughout his time as a Pastor, he was driven by a passion for helping the needy and encouraging people in the strengthening of their faith. He was a man of God who gave of himself tirelessly in serving others. Oswaldo was kind, courageous and is remembered as a loving husband and the "best Dad ever."
