Since this is a food-based forum I thought that this might be interesting. The following is a quote from the Wisconsin State Journal: “Oscar G. Mayer, 95, retired chairman of the company that bears his name, died Monday at HospiceCare Center in Fitchburg. He was the third Oscar Mayer in the family that founded Oscar Mayer Foods, once Madison’s largest private employer. His grandfather, Oscar F. Mayer, died in 1955 and his father, Oscar G. Mayer Sr., died in 1965.” Another quote from the article: “Although Mayer held the highest office in his company and was considered largely responsible for building it into the nation’s largest provider of processed meats, Mayer took great pride in his humble beginnings.”
