Oscar G. Mayer, retired chairman of the Wisconsin-based meat processing company that bears his name, has died at the age of 95.

Mayer's wife, Geraldine, said he died of old age Monday age at Hospice Care in Fitchburg.

He was the third Oscar Mayer in the family that founded Oscar Mayer Foods, which was once the largest private employer in Madison. His grandfather, Oscar F. Mayer, died in 1955 and his father, Oscar G. Mayer Sr., died in 1965.

Mayer retired as chairman of the board in 1977 at age 62 soon after the company recorded its first $1 billion year. The company was later sold to General Foods and is now a business unit of Kraft.

Mayer's first wife, Rosalie, died in 1998. He married Geraldine Fitzpatrick in 1999.

Oh man this blows. Without him we wouldn't have:
1. A chain of good commercials
2. Quality hotdogs that are still going on to this day

I am now sad....

He didn't create the commercials, and he didn't found Oscar Mayer Foods. We would still have both things listed.

Hot dogs are gross. Either way, rest in peace.

No way, hot dogs are the best. And don't gimme that crap about what's in them, cuz I know and they're still delicious.

Am I a freak for eating them straight out of the package?

A little bit.

I actually never liked hot dogs as a kid. Now that I'm a big boy now, I get them every Thursday during school times at the hot dog truck on campus.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those wieners have a higher shelf-life.

What I'm wondering is, did they roll him to the funeral in the Wiener Mobile? That would've been perfect.
