In Memory of Billy Jamieson...


Billy Jamieson, friend, supporter and sponsor of the Oasis Skateboard Factory, passed on July 3. On numerous occasions he opened his home to our students to explore his collections of tribal art, curiosities and shrunken heads. A big-hearted, generous and inspiring individual, he would always make time in his busy schedule to welcome our youth and relate his own struggles in school and how he followed his passion and became successful. Past students often reflected that trips to his loft were some of their most memorable experiences in school. We will truly miss you Billy!
