I'll always remember the time you tuned up your Montego V8 and it wouldn't start up. You called me for advise and I asked if you put the plug wires on the cap in the correct order. Your answer was " I tried every combination I could think of".....I came to your house and we straightened it out. The car ran like a top... Like the car, YOU ran like a top for 90 years. They don't build guys like you anymore. It's been a pleasure knowing you all these years and being a part of the family even for a while. Everybody misses you...If you see my folks tell them the '52 is still around and I love them. Love ya.

Uncle Tom, we all will miss you. Reaching 90 years old in such good and positive spirit has given me hope for us Osborne men. Thanks for your kindness, advice, sharing your skills, your music and your family with us. Now there will be time to have some fun with your brother Earle, your sister in law Lorraine and of course your sweet Louise. Do they bowl in heaven? - love from your nephew Rick Osborne
