Robert “Bob” J. Osborn, Jr., 56, of Spencer, passed away unexpectedly, Tuesday, July 23, 2024.

Born in Worcester on August 23, 1967, to Robert Sr. and Gloria (Borden) Osborn. Raised in Worcester, Bob graduated from Burncoat High School. He was a proud carpenter, doing what he loved for the entirety of his life starting in his teenage years.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years, Lisa (Corridori) Osborn of Spencer; his loving son, Kyle R. Osborn of Spencer; three siblings, nieces, nephews, and friends. 

Renowned for his kind heart, empathy, and humor, Bob cherished his family and friends. He was an exceptional wood craftsman, who enjoyed concerts, weekend Monopoly games and campfires with the boys (Jared & Owen). Bob loved going for walks with his wife and visiting the White Mountains in New Hampshire. One of Bob's most favorite pastimes was watching animated films while drinking his favorite drink, Mountain Dew.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, at 11:00am at St. Joseph’s Church, 10 H Putnam Rd. Extension, Charlton, MA. Interment will follow at Worcester County Memorial Park, Paxton.
