Oscar John Vallot

2017 with his family by his side following a brief illness. He had been battling cancer for

a number of years but a recent combination of health issues proved too much for even

our “energizer bunny” to overcome.

He is survived by his wife Evelyn (JoAnn), his daughter Michele (Nina), his son Keith

(Adonis) and his beloved grand-dog Halle.

Oscar was raised by his maternal grandparents John and Olivia Taylor following the

death of his mother Mary Taylor when he was 6 years of age. He spent a great deal of

loving time with his godmother Lucy Hebert.

Oscar proudly served in the army during the Korean War and was stationed in Japan.

He subsequently utilized his GI assistance to attend Xavier University and the Electronic

Institute of America becoming an Electronics Engineer. This profession served as an

enormous source of pride and joy for him for over 32 years with Burroughs / Unisys. He

was most proud of his contributions to the guidance systems at Cape Canaveral and to

the production and testing of check sorter systems during his time there.

His absolute greatest source of pride however was his 59 years of marriage to the love

of his life, Evelyn and raising his two children. He always used a saying when we were

young that “Watash would take care of everything”. Watash was a term used by the

military during the Korean War to mean best buddy or number one friend. He was not

only an amazing provider and father but a wonderful friend as we got older.
