Mr. Osgood was my 4th grade teacher back at Merrymount; the years 83-84. Looking back on all the teachers I've had, from elementary through college, the names of many escape me, but Mr. Osgood was one of the best; he made teaching fun and for that he will forever be remembered with the fondest of memories.
So confident in speaking for all your students, we thank you, may your kickball stadium be made of gold as you share the field with your friends and family that have moved on to greet you.

I taught with Bill at Merrymount School and would see him from time to time at the Early American restaurant. I still have the candle Bill made for me when Ed and I got married 36 years ago. I have never lit it as it is too pretty to light - I think of Bill whenever I admire the candle. He truly had a kind and giving manner. Please accept my sincerest sympathy,
