Oscar then attended the University of Michigan where he received a BA in 1953, a JD from the Michigan Law School in 1956, and a Master of Arts Degree in Library Science in 1958.

In 1954 Oscar married Joan Hegener in Detroit, MI. They moved to Boulder, CO in 1965 where Oscar served as director of the CU Law School Library and as a Professor of Law.

Throughout his life Oscar’s Christian faith played a major role. He was active in all churches he belonged to. He especially enjoyed his role as a Bethel Bible study leader. At Mount Zion Lutheran Church in Boulder he served in many capacities including Head Elder.

Oscar and Joan enjoyed many years of travel in the US, and later they experienced many adventures abroad with the CU Alumni.
