He could become friends with absolutely anyone and have a good time. He had a big heart that would help anyone that asked of him. His artistic talents outshined his academic talents - growing up he would always prefer art classes to any others and would draw whenever he was given the chance.

Osbaldo era conocido por muchos como un personaje querido decidido a hacer reír a los que le rodeaban, ya sea por sus acciones o chistes. Podría convertirse en amigo de absolutamente cualquier persona y pasar un buen rato. Tenía un gran corazón que ayudaría a cualquiera que se lo pidiera. Sus talentos artísticos eclipsaron a sus talentos académicos: al crecer siempre prefería las clases de arte a cualquier otra y dibujaba cada vez que se le daba la oportunidad. Era un alma amable con una hermosa sonrisa que adoraba a su hija y el tiempo que pudo pasar con ella. Todos los que lo conocieron lo extrañarán mucho.
