James W Osmun

James Warren Osmun, born June 17, 1936 in Albion, MI to Albert and Donna Osmun. He was born 4th of 5 children. He always said he had to wear his 4 sister’s hand-me-downs. Jim loved his family dearly-

On July 4, 2016, God look around his garden and found an empty space; He looked down upon earth and saw a tired face. He put his arm around Jim and lifted him to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, for he only takes the best. He knew Jim was weary and he knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never be well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyes and whispered “Peace be thine.” Jim is now with his Lord and Savior.

Jim was predeceased by his mother and father, older sisters, Jean Meredith and Joan Carnicom, grandson, Brian Osmun and his best friend of 59 years, Jim Trout.

Jim is survived by his wife, Janet 33 years of marriage; his children, Marty (Ruth), Dennis (Penny), Michael (Julie) and Sherry (Al) Wright; 2 step-daughters, Roxanne (Jeff) Carnicom, Victoria (Dago) Mendez. He had 14 grandchildren, 10 Step-grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, 4 step-great-grandchildren and 2 sisters, Janet (Richard) Smith and Jackie Slaughter.

Jim enjoyed reading and had the full collection of Louis La’mour books and Harry Potter as well.

Jim was a people person and was a salesman for years and the last 25 years he worked as a supervisor for a Pharmacy which he enjoyed a great deal.
