For those who didn't have the pleasure of meeting "Ozzie" you missed out of knowing one of the best characters of the Somerville, Bridgewater and Raritan area. Whether he was cooking, fishing or catching crabs then sharing those epicurean delicacies with family, friends or whoever stopped by or whoever he visited, you could count on endless stories and remembrances of years gone by. Those lovable traits were also displayed while living in Brick. We who knew him will miss him dearly.
