Robert Osiecki Obituary
Mr. Osiecki, 55, of Charlotte, died Monday, December 1, 2003 at Presbyterian Hospital, Charlotte.
He was born August 25, 1948 in Atlanta, GA, to the late Robert Osiecki, Sr. and Mary Ann Henderson Osiecki. Bob graduated from Charlotte Catholic High School and the University of Dayton. In 1975, he married Kathleen Federal. Following in his father's footsteps, he made notable contributions in the field of mechanical engineering. In his position as head of research and development at a major defense contracting firm, he developed the engine for the Army's Humvee. His testimony before the US Congress led to a heightened awareness of the benefits of natural gas powered vehicles. Bob was a pilot and worked for a time as a certified airplane mechanic. He was also an award winning sailplane instructor. Bob was a good and loving father. His family will miss him deeply.
He is survived by his daughter, Mary Kay Osiecki and his son, Robert Osiecki; sisters, Ann Osiecki Austin and Alice Osiecki; brothers, Richard Osiecki and Tom and his wife Susan Anspach Osiecki; nephews, Christopher Osiecki and wife Meggan Partaine; and nieces, Samantha Osiecki and Lara Lenoir Austin.

Bob was a wonderful brother. His wit and sparkle was always evident. We shared a love of the technical, he being a Professional Engineer and I being a physicist. Being also a philosopher, he kept our conversations quite lively. Then there was his "evil twin, Bill". We had fun, Bob and I..and I will miss him deeply. There is no way to celebrate in these few words how he made the world a better place--but he did in so many ways. We are lucky to have had him with us, and his memory shall be a blessing.
