I corresponded with John Osborne for about a year when I was a freshman in college. I don't remember how I got his name, I just know that he was a very nice man and always answered all my questions about Vietnam and his experiences. I wish I could have known him better. Martha Westcott.
I was engaged to his brother. You are the Uncle Johnny my daughter will never know. I never got to meet you myself. Your brother Steven loved you so much, he talked of you and missed you dearly. You, along with so many others, made the ultimate sacrifice for your county and your fellow man. We love you and will always honor your memory. Phyllis Grundman.
I only met him a few days before he was killed, but I remember some details concerning his death. Anyone knowing or kin to him please contact me. I have always wondered if the family knew any of the details of his death. He seemed like a great guy from the short time that I knew him. James Stapler, [email protected].
