The Passing of a Legend

We need to do a Rick Osborn Memorial something. Man this is tearing me up. I can lead it.

I will miss the nights standing next to him watching him work his magic on fooling big fish.  
Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Sorry to hear this.

RIP Brother Rick

As others have said previously, I have only known him through his posts on this forum. Even so you could tell how special a man he was and what a great fisherman. I will miss seeing his lunker counts going forward and am unhappy that I was never able to meet him in person. I wish the best for Sandy and his family and our thoughts go out to them.

Hey all.  This is Laker67's wife, Sandy.  I'm in tears reading your comments.  As close a friend as he was to you all, he was my whole world!  Yet I feel like, in some way, you all knew him better than I did.  He gave the 2nd best part of his life to trout fishing. 

He will be buried with full military honors at Springfield Veterans Cemetery Tuesday, May 31, at 1:00.  Feel free to join us if you're in the area.  Brad, Kevin and I plan to make a trip to Taney following the service to share him with the waters he loved fishing most.

A true gentleman, sportsman and trout whisperer.  His passion showed through what he shared here and on the water with others.

I never met the man, but we were on contact here.  His battle with the cancer was getting rough and he was looking for hope.

We all end up in a better place than here on earth.  We enjoy it while we are here, sometimes.  But, its pretty rough at times.

Be well, Fish on.  Laker67

Rest in peace.

A great fisherman and person indeed.   Will truly miss his posts here and prayers out to the family in their time of grief.
