Memories of all the softball/fun times we had Stan an Connie Schake

Condolences to Rich's family. The late great sports editor of the Kearney Daily Hub nicknamed Rich "The Wizard of Oz" Osentowski. He was the sports hero that all of us young athletes looked up to. He was a wizard at winning close games and was one of the big playmakers that gave the Lopers an undefeated season in 1967 by pulling one after another victory out of the hat. Rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to the family of Rich. My sister Laura Journey used to work for Rich at State Farm.
