Oscar Weeks

Oscar Weeks was graduated from Hillsborouglt High School in 1948 and served a three-year term with the US Marines. He took part in the Inchon Invasion in September 1950 and was wounded December 3, 1950.

In the meantime his father had been pioneering as the first distributor for Ernest Holmes Company and the first ever to order wrecker bodies by the carload. Upon discharge from the Marines in 1951, Oscar joined the firm and became its president when it was incorporated in 1963. Weeks Equipment, with Oscar Sr. and Oscar Jr., has been one of the major factors in the growth of the towing and recovery industry through the establishment and successful operation of a retailing agency. In 1986 Oscar sold Weeks Equipment and now owns Weeks Hydraulics in Tampa.
