R E M E M B E R I NG: RICHARD OSBORNE
O
On June 4, former Trustee Richard Osborne passed away at The Cleveland Clinic. Rick started and operated many family-owned businesses throughout his career. While initially involved in the tree service and welding industries, he eventually started businesses in air separation and specialty gases, real estate, construction, banking, senior living, self-storage, cosmetics, oil-gas exploration and pipelines, excavation, concrete and materials, and development. He was a generous man, donating to a variety of causes, including Gilmour. Rick was an active member of Gilmour’s Board of Trustees from 2006-2014, serving each year on the Buildings & Grounds Committee. Headmaster Emeritus Br. Robert Lavelle, C.S.C. said of Rick’s involvement at Gilmour, “He had a particular interest in and experience with oil and gas wells and Gilmour had several which, by their
very nature, need attention, but served as significant assets for Gilmour’s operating budget.” He continued, “I enjoyed our frequent conversations and his willingness to assist the Academy whenever and wherever he could. I am grateful for the years of caring attention and service he generously gave Gilmour.” Rick is survived by his wife, Nahtara Reid; his children, Jennifer (Loreto M.) Iafelice, Beth Ann Osborne, Richard M. (Tricia) Osborne, Jr., Gregory J. Osborne, Nathan D. Osborne and Morgan Silverman ’08; his grandchildren, Christina and Regina Iafelice, Loreto M.
