BERNSTOCK, Oscar, 73, passed away with peace and dignity on March 16, 1997 after a long illness. He is survived by his loving wife, Maria E. Bernstock, who comforted him and cared for him during his illness. He also leaves behind a sister, Shirley Wasserman of Cleveland, Ohio and a son, William D. Street, Jr. (Charlotte Bethany). There are many other people who will also miss Oscar, as he has touched so many lives. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 13, 1923 to Joseph and Carrie Bernstock, he attended school there and made the commitment to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Navy from 1942 to 1945. A master radio and Morse code technician, Oscar left the Navy with a rank of Seaman First Class. From 1946 until 1979, Oscar worked as a truck driver, owning and operating his own trucking firm in Cleveland. He was also a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. In 1979, Oscar moved to Tucson. He was an active bowler for many years, and a member of the Knights of Pythias. In the late 80's, he met Maria, and their strong love was bound by their matrimony on January 29, 1989. They celebrated eight years of marriage: their love for one another is as everlasting as the stars in Heaven’s sky. Oscar was always a generous and caring person, a man whose heart and goodwill had no bounds. He was considerate of those less fortunate, and reached out and touched the hearts of many people. While he has passed from this life, we confirm to celebrate his spirit, and will always let his life be a guide, a lesson for us all. A memorial service will be held at 1:00, March 18, 1997 at Hudgel’s SWAN FUNERAL HOME. Visitation will be after the service at 9905 E. Colette. We wish to extend our deep felt thanks to the men and women of St. Joseph’s Hospice, who made a world of difference during a very hard time. 'When we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, strive for peace, for righteousness, and justice – yea, ’tis then that we become immortal, deathless, timeless, living on in others.'
