His wife Geraldine said he died from complications of old age.
He was the third Oscar Mayer in the family that founded Oscar Mayer Foods, which once was Madison's largest private employer. 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, now a division of Philip Morris.

I prefer Hebrew National, but this guy has been making Bolonga since, as the late Chich Hearn would say, hector was a pup. Good Luck Mr. Mayer.

Bright fellow Oscar G. He lived soooo much longer than Oscar F. and his dad Oscar G. Sr. Although my guess is more an inference than a deduction, I think he might have been a vegetarian. Especialy if his dad and grandad ate their company's meat products, and he had a chance to see what it was doing to them. One guaranteed way to live longer is to avoid the E. Coli bacteria infections that form in the small intestine from regular meat eating. It's difficult to physicaly unlearn meat eating if you've done so for many years. Though the smell of barbeque won't make you salvate like Pavlov's dogs at the dinner bell, there is a physical conditioned response in the form of cravings that take longer to fade. But with time, the fruits, vegetables, grains and chese that taste so much better now, will taste even better still when I no longer have the occassional meat cravings. Until then I'm sure that eating all that tuna in the interim will deposit so much mercury in me that I'll no longer need a thermometer to register the outside temperature. But that's the price I pay for not needing to take sick days. And living so long I'd die only because I'd be too pooped to fart anyway.
