He had a second home in Arizona where he escaped Wisconsin winters and enjoyed more golf and watching football. Norman will always be remembered for his firey spirit. "Stormin' Norm as he was sometimes called had a strong work ethic. He loved his clients, their animals and his family.

I knew Norman in the 90's when I was studying in Milwaukee from London UK. He was a lovely man with a great family. Sorry to hear of their loss.

In 1970 Dr. Osgood opened up at 9pm to treat our dog who had been hit by a car. She survived because of his wonderful care. Though the years since I believe my dad looked forward to taking the family dogs in for their routine check ups just so he and Dr. Osgood could shoot the breeze. It was an honor to have known him! Thank God he passed his compassion and caring nature on to his children. My thoughts and prayers are with him and your entire family.

I had an appointment today at Lake Geneva Animal Hospital and was told of Norm Osgood passing. Larry and I have know him since 1989 and he and Dr. Brad and Dr. Brett treated our pets until we relocated last year. We actually considered making the drive to Brentwood for vet service, because Norm created the best veterinary clinic ever. Our deepest condolences to the Osgoods and extended family. He will be missed. Debra and Larry Winchell

We are so sorry to hear of Norm's passing. He took such loving care of our Missy. His veterinary legacy is now going forward in his sons Brett and Brad's capable hands. We remember fondly our ski trip out west and the good times we shared.

We were very saddened to hear about the passing of such an outstanding man Dr Norman Osgood. Our family has been going to Brentwood since 1990. Over the course of the years, Dr "O" (as we called him!) took such great care of our beloved dogs Oliver and Teddy. Our hearts go out to the Osgood family in their loss of such a wonderful man. We continued to go to Brentwood over the years, and were always truly grateful for the level of dedication and love these fine people gave to our beloved pets.

Dr Osgood was always a friend to his patients who couldn't tell him their problems , but he always knew. We're forever in his debt to keep our Mackie, Haggar, Lucy & Ginger going to old age. Imagine his reception over the Rainbow Bridge! Heaven gains a caring soul where all his patients will be happy and healthy
He will be missed

I have been going to his clinic since 1967 and have many pleasant and some sad memories during that time. In the early days I have had many pets cared for by Dr. Norm His death will be a great loss to his family but they continue to carry on his legacy in their practice. I have continued to bring my pets to the Oak Creek Clinic even though I have moved to Brookfield. My sincere condolences to all the family members on their loss.
