Anthony Wayne "Tough Tony Borne" Osborne

I've often wished as an adult that I could have told Tony what a impact he's had on my life. I was only 5 when I met him. Tony was there to take me clothes shopping for school...take me to the doctor when I broke my arm... and he was always good at keeping the boys at bay. He took care of my sister and I like we were his own children. I didn't realize it then, but there aren't too many people out there with the heart that Tony had. Tony was a great man and I am thankful for all the fond...

Hi Toni Rae & Matt, I just heard about our Tony. He was 1 of a kind.I wish I could have been at his life celebration. The Elks lodge was his home away from home, ha. He did touch so many lives, including my girls, Mysti and Tami and of course myself. We loved him very very much and will miss you Tony. Tony loved his children, Matt and Toni Rae more than life itself. My love to you both, Matt and Toni Rae.

Matt, and Toni Rae, It's hard to imagine that Tony has passed. He had a great influence on mine and my sisters lives. We still talk about him all of the time. He practically raised us. I know he scared off many boys in our teen age years with his low, gruff voice. ha! But, we loved him... He is missed.

I was stunned to hear this - a month+ afterwards....Tony WAS Portland Wrestling... I'll always remember watching him and Mayne riding a tiny little Go Cart one Sunday in an empty parking lot in Milwaukie just a few yards up from his real estate office and about 2 houses away from where I was....they were like kids..... used to watch him in the Armory, too. One night my brother got sick. Throwing up in bathroom, a passing Tony Borne told my grandfather that he'll get his money back since we...

I worked with Tony At Ace Mathews Dog show. He sold me my first home. I thanked him again this year, he changed my life, I never took it for granted. Rest in peace Tony ! Junella F.

Toni---Do you remember Orvilla's School of Dance where we took ballet classes on Saturday mornings? I remember most vividly your Dad sitting in the viewing window on the sofa watching all us little girls taking class with his big arms around a bunch of little kids trying to wrestle him! He was a great, warm, teddy-bear of a man with a huge heart. He will always be in My heart. May you and your family find what you need to get through your time of grief. With Tony's warm example I know it will...

I'm So sorry your Father was the greatest wrestler in this world.My thoughts are with you and you family.
God Bless. Margaret C
