Philip Osborne

Warm regards, Karin Mebius

I, too, echo the sentiments of the other entries. Best summer of my life. Summer of 1975. 4 or 5 week Europe tour. Only my sorority "big sister" and I went from our university. Got to know other college girls, and a few guys. It was first class all the way. Greatest experience of my young adult life, bar none, and I will always be grateful to Osborne Tours and Mr. Osborne for that! Karen Clements

Thank you, Linda, for keeping Phil's memory alive here, & in our hearts. I still miss him, and will always love him. He loved us all, all Creation.

I was a member of one of Phil's college tours to Europe in 1965. Best trip EVER! Sorry to learn of his death.

I went on two Osborne travel tours a High school one (1977) and a College one (1978). Great memories that will last a lifetime!

I too just decided to "google" Osborne Tours...for fun. Did not xpect to see Phil's obit. I graduated from college in 1969 in St. Louis, found a brochure of his college grad tours in a travel agency, signed up for a 5+week trip of Europe, and my life was changed forever. Met Phil in Switzerland....still remember our group's dinner with him. Five years later, I was working in the travel business where I stayed for 30+ years. Thank you, Phil, for everything!

It is so sad to hear of Phils passing. I met him once when I was younger. My Aunt Martha worked with Mr. Osborne as a tour guide for the college students. When my Aunt passed away in 1985 Mr. Osborne came to her funeral service. He was a very kind man, he will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Mr. Osborne. Deepest sympathy to family and friends.

Robin,
What a treat to open up my email and find that there was a recent entry in my uncle Phil Osborne's guest book. I had no idea that the AJC still had it open, since Phil died 9/23/07, but I am glad that they did, because I so enjoyed reading your comments. Thank you! He led a fabulous life and many people mention how he changed their lives for the good, including my own and my kids's lives. Phil was my mother's brother. Thank you! Linda (Murphy) Stone

I don't know why I looked up this link just now hoping to find Osborne Travel and instead finding this obit notice. I traveled with Carolyn Blaine trip to Europe in the summer of 1976 as a 16 year old and never forgot that amazing trip. Now at near 52 I still remember the great times I had. Thank you Mr. Osborne for a trip of a lifetime. Rest in peace.
