Lorence R. Osmunson III

I had the pleasure to work with Ozzie both as a firefighter and for a while on our off days. I spent most of my time at the Naval Base Fire Dept at fire station one where Ozzie was the captian on the engine most of the time. I was on the Ladder most of the time but we were always a close group and many fun days of training hanging off the side of a water tank or some building made for some real good times. There were few that could walk through a building faster than Ozzie at 2 in the...

Ozzie was assigned to the Naval Base Norfolk as the Fire Chief. He came on the ship I was assigned to (USS Canisteo AO-99) to do an inspection. I was Officer Of The Deck at that time. I was really surprised to see him. The Navy meant a lot to Ozzie. My deepest condolences to his dear wife and family .

I worked with Ozzie at Dante Valve company, Ozzie was a well-rounded and respected man, set in his own way.?i enjoyed working with him we are going to miss you.

He was a real nice Guy. He will be miss by Bodie and me.
