Kenneth Osgood Obituary
Mr. Osgood was born June 29, 1929, in Laconia, the son of Harold and Doris May (Sprague) Osgood, and had been a lifelong resident of Laconia.
In his youth, Mr. Osgood was a Golden Glove boxer. He was an amazing short order cook who got his nickname of "Spider" from his ability to multi-task while working at the Shore Diner and Paul's Diner.

Survivors include his wife of 13 years, Brenda (Vaden) Osgood of Lakeport; a son, Kenneth S. Osgood Jr. and his wife, Sharon, of Laconia; a daughter, Betty Lou Plante of Laconia; three sisters, Doris Palmer of Belmont and Beverly Gordon and Carol Merrill of Florida; three grandchildren, Kenneth S. Osgood III of Colorado, Mitchell Plante of Gilford and Richard Plante of Laconia; three great-grandchildren, Hunter Osgood of Colorado and Kolbi and Taeylor Plante of Gilford; and two step-grandchildren,David Earl Piper of Franklin and David Edgar Piper of Laconia.

He was a great cook and a talented man who, in later years, always kept our family heirloom correctly ticking away in fine working order. Mr. Osgood was well respected and very much a fixture in this town. We will miss him.

Betty, Ken, and family,
We spent many late nights watching "Spider" cook, and enjoyed his yummy food, after a night of "clubbing" at the Shangrila and the Margate...
Our sympathies go out to all of you....Sue, Sam, and Etta
