I took care of Mr. Osburn for years, greeting him in the morning with "hello friend." He would always reply " more than a friend. " What a wonderful human being he was, a kind and gentle soul. Thank you to his family for allowing me the privilege of caring for him the these past few years.

Uncle Charlie was the greatest! Some of our best childhood memories were spent with our cousins at their house playing around his work shop in the garage and in the tree fort. He always was very good to us, even when we bugged him while he was working on his tractors! He will be dearly missed.

Charlie was so helpful during his years atHebron school. He demonstrated a strong commitment in helping the students succeed. I knew that I could always go to him to obtain help for a student when needed. He definitely was one of those unique individuals who can never be replaced.

Grandpa, you will be missed. You were the best grandpa anyone could ask for. Had a lot of great memories watching Disney movies and eating popcorn and cut up apples on Sunday evenings when I was younger. I am so glad you walked me down the aisle at my wedding. No one could have done the job better. It meant a lot to me. I loved it when I came to visit and you always wanted updated pictures of your great grand daughters. You were so proud of me. Grandpa, thank you for being you and I will never forget you. Love you forever grandpa, you will be missed! Love Janice

I am saddened to hear that Uncle Charles has now left us. I remember he and Aunt Marjorie on the many visits mom (Helen) & dad and my sister made to Indiana. We loved visiting our many cousins too! My twin sister and I had a picture taken of us on one such trip, sitting, with their twin sons on our laps. It was MANY years later, when mom had passed away, that Uncle Charles & Aunt Marjorie sent that picture to me. Hilariously, they had miss-named my sister and I in that picture! May our Lord comfort you at this time. As I will do, cherish those memories!
