We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
Phyllis & family members, Sending thoughts and prayers, may God lift all during this difficult time.
I am truly heartbroken. Steve was one of the kindest, most loyal and dedicated Friends I know. I have more than 30 years of memories of him and Laurie. One fond memory was when they gave me a place to live for a short time. We were all in our 20’s and if I stayed out late Steve would stay awake till I got home just like a concerned parent. Laurie would tell me the next morning and I would feel like the bad teenager. Lol But I certainly knew I was cared about. Steve will forever be missed but never forgotten. ?? Lisa Scalora
Laurie, we offer our deepest sympathy on the passing of Steve. We will always remember the laughs that we shared on our Roberts Supply adventures! Our sincere condolences, Lorri & Brent Sklar
I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the unexpected loss of your beloved husband, son, brother, and uncle. I have many fond memories of Steve from his school days at Rocky Grove High School. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the difficult days that lie ahead. Wishing you comfort and peace as you remember the happy times you shared… Sincerely, Rosalyn Miller
I’m so very sorry to Steve’s family and all the lives he touched. I haven’t seen Steve in years but I have many childhood memories of growing up going to school with him. He was always the sweetest kid. Love and prayers to his family.?????? Bernadette French (Smith)
This isn’t going to be edited so excuse my grammar etc. Does anyone think of Steve and not think of music? I see him playing his air guitar with sound effects like it’s the 1980s right now. I have soooo many good memories of him right where he took his final breath, with the love of his life by his side. Trout fishing and campfires, music playing too loud and drinking Hi C straight from the can. He taught me to fish and to clean it myself! He taught me how to drive a standard and eventually Laurie even let me drive her Subaru BRAT! … also with the music playing too loud but feeling it in my soul now! Spinning “cookies”??? …yes, please!!!! What I wouldn’t give to do that one more time with him???!!! As a big brother should, he carried me around on his shoulders when my legs were too little and they got too tired but soon after that he also taught me that playing tackle football was ALWAYS better than two hand tap! He could convince me to” LIVE LIFE” by jumping in to the icy cold creek to wash off rather than to take a perfectly hot bath at the house because …well, “we could.” I believe he still did this frequently. Ohhhhh and the Trout camp fires where we drank nothing but Hi C straight from the can turned in to where, well… I may have drank keg beer straight from a Pringle’s can. He would NOT have approved. Life was good, hard, and crazy in Sugarcreek but although he did like to torture me at times I realize, I tortured him back! Love and miss him too much already…Holly Lynn Boom “????
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
“Stephen Osgood” will remain in our hearts forever.
With heartfelt condolences,
Steve, Laurie, and family, We are so sorry for your loss and are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time. Blessings, Carol and Newell Confer
My deepest condolences and prayers to Laurie and the Osgood family for your loss, I had the honor of knowing Steve and even though he worked under me at STIHL Southeast, he was a person that would do anything for you both inside and out of work, We shared some great stories of our youthful years and talked a joked a lot about Pennsylvania with also having family in the same area as him. You will be greatly missed by all, Rest in peace Steve. Michael Surrena

My thoughts and prayers go out to Laurie and the rest of Steve’s family. I have known Steve since his Robert’s Supply days when we were competitors and have enjoyed working with him for the last 6 years. He was a hard worker, willing to do anything it took to get the job done. He was a talented musician as well. A great guy gone way too soon.
Phyllis and family; I am so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy.
Steve is a great man. He will be deeply missed. The family is in our hearts and prayers.
Stephen David was born here in Franklin And raised in Sugar Creek PA Phyllis raised him with sisters Kristen, Sharon and Holly. When he was little they called him Stevie David…it’s no wonder, he was a tiny tyke right up through high school (but a feisty one) Steve and I went to high school together in Rocky Grove, he graduated two years before me. We knew each other all through childhood because he played baseball with my brother Jerry. We began dating my senior year and moved to Orlando Florida together in 1987. To mention a favorite song of ours would be difficult because we have spent 30 years of Steve singing in numerous rock bands. I think they all were our favorite, we just totally shared that passion together… His work ethic was unsurpassed, selling in the Power Equipment Industry and covering most of the state of Florida for the last 20 years. He is well known and will be missed by all of the Dealers he served. Steve has always been the rock in my life… now our 23 nieces and nephews will be my strength moving forward. (already offering to help me in anyway through this difficult time) Steve and I are very proud of their life accomplishments and choices… John and Andrew/ THANK YOU both FOR YOUR SERVICE to our country… Uncle Steve was always there to be some sort of example of fun in their lives… We’ve shared movies like The Lion King” and “ Frozen” together, we’ve gone four wheeling together, hunting, fishing and camping together, played paintball, whiffle ball, kickball, golf, HORSE, Incredible Hulk together. We’ve gone to Disney world, Universal studios, Sea world and Bush Gardens. We’ve been to NASCAR, NFL games and Baseball games… THE MEMORIES ARE ENDLESS…. Uncle Steve was a good man with a good heart… we truly have lived a blessed life and believe wholly in eternal life… I know we all will miss him dearly… it is a sad day for us, but we still have each other, our family forever. You all have a piece of uncle Steve inside of you. You’re the joy of his and my life… Today will be one of the hardest days we’ll ever have to go through, but we trust the Lord to guide our path forward. Please celebrate uncle Steve’s life and keep his memory alive forever and pay forward anything you received from him …
