Tom Osborne Obituary
Tom's wife Tricia proceeded his death by a little more than a month. Tom was endlessly devoted to Tricia for whom he was partnered with for over 15 years and was caretaker for as her Parkinson's disease progressed. Tom was such a devoted husband that the loss of Tricia was more than his heart could bear, and despite a valiant fight, he died soon thereafter.
He was a father with endless love and support for his two children, four grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, for whom he enjoyed spending time with and supporting anyway he could.
Tom was born in Cortland, NY, lived in southern Maine for many years, and finally settled in Port Charlotte, FL.
Tom will be missed more than written words can convey. He was always available and eager to lend help of any kind to those whom he loved. He lived a full, wholesome life and his loss will be felt deeply for many years to come.
He is survived directly by his son Matt and his daughter Cheryl. At his request there will be no service.

Matt and Cheryl,
We own the house next to your Dad in Port Charlotte and he was such a wonderful person and a great neighbor. He cared dearly for Tricia and they were such a beautiful couple. My condolences to you both and let me know if you all need anything.
