Lost in all of the celebrated deaths that have occurred recently, is the loss of Oscar Mayer who died at the age of 95 in a nursing home on Monday. He was the former CEO of the processed meats giant and actually the third Oscar Mayer to run the company.
<a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/dailydish/2009/07/oscar-mayer-is-dead.html">R.I.P. O.S.C.A.R.</a>
He is also the second famous person to have died in the last few weeks who will be remembered as someone whose meat was regularly offered up to minors.
Of course, O-S-C-A-R did not have a much publicized memorial service.
We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.
