Memories and Condolences
for Michael Osborne
October 29, 2010
Dear Family Members,
I was very sorry to hear about Mike's death. We were classmates in high school. In school Mike was very popular. He was athletic, smart,and a leader in our class. My favorite memory of Mike was his starring role in the Senior play. I don't remember my part, but I do remember his memorable openning scene. He faced the audience with a makeshift mirror and addressed the audience. Everyone loved it!
I have so many endearing memories of our years together. You have my sympathy. Cherie(Linton) Wolfe

Dear Susan, Mrs. Norma Osborne and Family
Dean Pierce let me know of Mike's passing, yesterday. I am so sorry to get this news.
His life was blessing to me and all the guys at South Park. He set a good example for the rest of us and even though I was a younger brother and often overlooked by my brother Gary and all of their gourp, Mike was always kind and inclusive.
Humor was there, but it was usually tempered with wisdom.
Jane and I will keep you all in our prayers.

Aunt Norma, I got notice of this just today and am sorry I was not able to attend. Anne left me a message telling me of this on Monday and I just picked up the message today. My condolences to you and Mikes family. I don't believe I have met Mikes wife or daughter. We will keep you in our prayers. Dick Randolph

Thanks Susan for letting me know. I had not seen the notice. I am so sorry for you and Carrie. What a wonderful man Mike was! What memories I have together with him. He was a great mentor for me, from 1975 on. I might not have become an architect without his influence. I'd like to talk with you in the future about Mike when you can handle it. I'll be praying for you through this time.

Dear Susan,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Mike's passing. He was a great friend and someone I have great respect for. I learned so much from Mike in the dozen or so years we worked together. He took great pride in Carrie and his granddaughters. My thoughts are with you and your family. He will be missed.

Dear Susan, As you know so well, Mike was such a special, kind, aware, talented, devoted person who contributed such good and goodness to this world. I knew him as next door neighbor on Linda Road when we were kids and then after college in the early years of his architecture career. You and your family are in my prayers. Please give Norma my condolences; she raised such a wonderful son! (Martha) Susan Knight, New York, New York

Although it's been a while since he and I sat together watching our daughters play at those Collegiate basketball and softball games, Mike was a man I very much liked and admired. Our sincerest sympathy to you Susan and to you dear Carrie.
