Robert Osborne Obituary

The Sooners just haven´t been the same without Bob.

I will never forget Robert. When I was a sophomore he was a good friend when I needed one. He was the starting senior halfback and I was his backup.

Well its been a year since you left this earth. I still can see your beautiful smile and hear your laughter. Your pictures pop up on my phone on all the good times we had. I am so grateful that I was able to spend so much time with you. The fun that you and I shared will never be forgotten. One of the best times we had was four wheeling in my jeep and you laughing saying how much fun you were having or the time that you and I went to Cripple Creek driving around and seeing the sites and the fall colors and I can't forget the pictures we got of you with the donkeys , you were so funny that day. There are so many funny memories that I have of you! I just wanna say Thank you !
I miss you soooo much!!!

Robert and Carol were regular guests of mine for many, many years at Macaroni Grill - I loved them both dearly! After Carol passed, I continued to wait of Robert, along with Allyn or his care takers; Beverly and Sigi. Robert always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes, always wanted a hug and a kiss on the cheek! I always looked forward to seeing him in my restaurant and holding his hand while he talked to me! I left the restaurant with covid, but continued to inquire of his health through his caretakers. I did have the opportunity to dine with him at the Black Eyed Pea Restaurant just a couple of months before he passed. Such a kind and sweet man! Someone like Robert, only comes around once in a lifetime! I'm blessed to have known both Robert and Carol! I'll love you both forever!

I was Bob´s Commercial Banker during his Ready-Mix Concrete days. He was a joy to work with because of his enthusiasm, focus and positive approach to business and life. The only time I remember him being down was when returning from a Vail ski weekend he said my boys said this weekend "mind if we catch up with you later in the day Dad". He was a great skier but found it tough to accept passing the torch on... Happy Trails.

I went to school with Robert in Oklahoma. He was 2 years ahead of me and we both played football for old Woodward High. Of all the people I knew in Woodward Robert was one of the BEST. Rest in peace my old friend.

Bob and Carol were wonderful neighbors. They were so kind to our boys when they came around selling Boy Scout popcorn. They always said, "We need some of that popcorn for our ski house in Vail!" Bob was a kind, intelligent man with a great sense of humor. We extend our sympathies to his children and relatives. We will miss him dearly.

Bob was one-of-a kind in so many ways. He was a class act, a great family man and a community leader. I had the privilege of roofing his beautiful home 4 times!
Going to miss this legend of a guy! Rest in peace Bob.

Growing up in Woodward Oklahoma Robert was my best friend for 83 years everyone loved Robert. Robert will always be in my heart. Farewell my dear Robert

Bob was a great story teller. I never laughed so hard as when he regaled us with how he helped recruit the Selmon brothers to Oklahoma by setting them up on a Colorado ski trip.
Very much enjoyed knowing and working with Bob through the years.

What a fun brother-in- law Robert Osborne was! He was such a positive upbeat man with a delightful sense of humor. I always looked forward to visiting him and my sweet sister Carol. He will be missed.

Twelve yrs younger than Robert, he was more a brother to me than an Uncle, and as a little boy I remember playing football in my grandparents' (his parents) yard in Woodward, Okla where we all grew up one block away on the same street. My Dad (Joe Osborne III), my Grandad (Joe Osborne, Jr), my 2 brothers (David & Alan) and I would jump into Grandad's Jeep station wagon with the 2 hunting dogs and go racing across the fields on Phil Ferguson Sr's ranch hunting quail, duck, pheasant, and turkey. Robert's stunning good looks, refreshing, quick wit, incisive mind, unforgettable laughter, and love for fun and adventure made him the idol of us all. As I grew older and began a banking career, Robert and I would visit often about business, politics, and anything else that came to mind. He will always be present in my heart, mind, and soul, and I will always love the mere thought of him, with his big smile and a friendly wave. The last time I saw him in Colo Spgs a couple of years ago on a weekend spent with him and Greg visiting our old Woodland Park neighborhood, the old Porter cabin, and of course the Golden Bee at the Broadmoor for refreshments afterwards, he waved goodbye from his front courtyard and I took this photo. He was and always will be a living legend in every sense.

Bob was a fine person and very helpful to me in the early days of my time in Colorado Springs...wonderful friend and client of our law firm. Godspeed Bob!

Adios to my father and best friend. No one was more fun than you! I cherish the amazing adventures, close calls and humor that we shared together. Thank you for the lessons, laughter and legacy of family values. I am carving some turns today in your honor. Cheers on a life well-lived! May God welcome you into His loving arms.
