Resident of the Month

This month, we are delighted to honor Jim Testerman! Jim is a cherished member of The Oscar community, and we love hearing his stories and seeing his enthusiasm at our events.
A Foundation Built on Family and Success
Jim’s inspiring journey began in Sudan, Texas. He graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in business, which was the springboard for his successful career. He built his own company from the ground up—a thriving venture he has since passed on to his children, Greg and Tamara.
Jim shared that one of his most cherished memories was the day his children were born; this pivotal moment gave him the drive to go to college and make a success of himself for his family. His proudest moments include graduating college, seeing his business flourish, and, most importantly, his children.
The Love of His Life
Jim met the love of his life when he was just 17 years old. He recalls meeting her for the first time in a shoe store: Although he didn’t know her, he instantly knew he would marry her someday—and two years later, he did!
Hobbies and Interests
When Jim isn’t enjoying the fun here at The Oscar, you can often find him focused on his favorite hobbies:
Reading
Listening to Music
Anything related to World War II
Life at The Oscar
Jim was drawn to The Oscar by the well-designed community and the genuine friendliness of all the employees. He finds great enjoyment in the variety of activities offered, with his favorite being Happy Hour with live music. He especially appreciates the various types of music played at different community events.
Jim shared that living here has truly enriched his life, especially by meeting so many nice people. He notes that the staff has been consistently helpful, always available in many different ways.
One time Jim felt particularly happy here was when he won the Stein Holding Contest during our Oktoberfest celebration!
