Our dad loved life, and his family truly was his pride and joy. In his better days, dad loved in the woods picking berries “in on the hills” hunting with the dogs, and dearly loved being on the water. His favorite place in the world is the place he grew up, Adams Cove. The past 17 years dad faced many challenges of being deaf and a stroke survivor. He faced everything with patience and a smile. He didn’t let his disability burden him and he was a joy to care for. Dad loved to go for drives and have a lunch on Topsail Beach. He would buy flowers and strawberry plants and call his grandchildren whom he called “his children” to plant them together. And oh the funny stories he could tell. We have many, many memories of our dad and he was a true poppy in every sense of the word to his grandchildren. In dads disabled condition he didn’t look at what he couldn’t do but what he could do. He had a wonderful outlook on life.
Dad will be dearly missed by all his family and will remain in our hearts forever.

Dear Madeline and Family, So sorry of the loss of your husband Oscar. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Daphne Duff
My sincere condolence to the Penney family. My father, Bill Stewart who just passed away in Feb was a friend of Oscar and also of Joe Bussey. I remember meeting both Oscar & Joe many times over the years and I always remember them both being very kind & friendly to me. My father spoke highly of both of them. Sending prayers from my family to yours during this difficult time.
