Robert Ossont

May the peace of God be with the family. His life story if written could say this, "A Life Well Lived." What a blessing to have share a little of his life's journey ... It was a true privilege to have known him. May God bless the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Linda, Elaine, Roberta, and Jim, as well as your families. He was a wonderful man and a pillar of Sheds and the Town of DeRuyter. You have many great memories of a man with a long, well-lived life. Love to all of you. Janet Bush Buttino

Rest in peace MR.OSSONT. The greatest teacher a student could have. His devotion to his students will go unsurpassed. I witnessed him instructing and mentoring many students that would not have finished school without him "caring". Some of these became very successful.
