Brevard County lost one of its icons with the passing of Vic Osman.
I had the pleasure of knowing Vic most of my life. I met Vic, who was a friend of my father when I was 12 years old. He was a larger-than-life man. He was a member of the Eau Gallie Yachtclub at the same time my parents were members. I remember thinking at the time he was kind of Brevard County royalty amongst the men of his generation! He was truly an amazing man. I had the pleasure of living right down the street from him when I was in high school. Even flipped a brand-new pickup truck into the ditch on Lake Washington Road practically in front of his house! To which he called the wrecker from his dealership to come pull my truck out of the ditch and assured me that everything would be okay as long as I was okay. Vic was an amazing, kind and gentle and yet tough man at the same time and I'm glad to say that I had the privilege of knowing him.
Vic will be greatly missed in the community by all of us who knew him.
My prayers go out to all his family

I will never forget the beautiful Christmas display that Mr. Osman would so proudly set up each year on the showroom floor. Children from all over Brevard County would come to see it, and get a chance to sit on Santa's lap. Mr. Osman was most certainly a charitable soul, who will be missed by many. May your memories of him bring you comfort.
