George Osmond, father of music clan, dies at 90

To the Osmond Family: My prayers are with you at this time. He was a great man who really loved and cared for his family. He was a great example for everyone. A man not afraid to stand up for his beliefs, the same beliefs that he instilled into his own family. God bless you all!

such a sad time for all the Osmond family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time.

It was truly an inspirational man and example not only to his family but to the world and will surely be missed, but he is with his wonderful wife and has left a legacy behind. I am truly grateful example that he and his wife and for raising the family that there is. He will never be forgotten!

looking back a great example to all of us was and has been the osmond parents. the night marie performed was amazing but as I heard of the passing of father osmond. It came to me that mother osmond was waiting to dance again with her sweetheart. How beautiful for them to be reunited forever and how wonderful of a legacy of the memories and ventures they both shared with there amazing family. How blessed we all are for these examples.To the osmond family my prayers are with you all. But just remember the two sweethearts are dancing again.

I am truly for the loss of your father, grandfather and great grandfather. Your family will be in my prayers.

I was so sorry to hear about George Osmonds passing. This family means so much to be because if it wasn't for their example as members of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Later Day Saints I would have never joined the church almost 31 years ago. Since then I have been sealed to my parents in the Omaha Nebraska Temple. I am so very thankful for my membership within the LDS church.

What a beautiful man and a wonderful example of a great family. To have such a patriarch, now home with his eternal sweetheart.

May God bless George and Olive for an eternity and may their children, grandchildren, and the rest of their descendents continue on the legacy of love, laughter and faith.

What a role model Mr. Osmond has been to the world. I pray we all will remember him and what he did and stood for his whole life.

I'm sorry for your lost.

The death of a loved one represents a conclusion and also a new beginning. The joy of a life well lived is a wonderful heritage to leave. Love and sympathy to you all.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Father Osmond. What a great example of the gospel. He truly touched many lives and those of us that joined the church through the Osmond family will be forever grateful. I hope he knows now what a great impact he and his family had on all of us!. Peace be with you!

My prayers and thoughts are with The Osmond Family at this difficult time. May you find some comfort in knowing so many people from all over the world are praying for The Osmond Family. May you continue to spread your love and music and share your faith with others. God Bless, Barbara New York

Many, MANY years ago, a school friend bought "The Plan". We listened to it often, memorizing many of the words.
YEARS went by and we were tracted by 2 missionaries from S. Jordan/Sandy and they talked about Heavenly Fathers Plan.
The music from the old album came back to my mind. It was truly a seed planted while I was a teenager.
I am now a member of the church, sealed in the temple, my 2 children served missions, as have I.
Thanks to a great family patriarch, who, through his children helped my conversion and my families eternal salvation.

I know George will be missed but he is relishing in the reunion with his wife, Olive.

May God Bless you all in this hour of your grief.

I've been a fan for 35 years. Your family has always given me inspiration, and made me proud to be a Mormon. 5 of my coworkers and I are planning on going to Donny's performance in Vegas on the 17th. If you have to cancel, we will understand. I lost my mom last Christmas, and understand 100%. You have not only been a blessed family, but you have blessed millions of others lives. Your father will be greatly missed by all.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr.Osmond.This family means the world to me,I felt I grew up with them !! I got to have the great joy of meeting and getting to know them,I felt I lost a part of my family, God bless you all ! I send my thoughts and prayers to your great family ! He is in a much better place now,he is with his loving wife now.

My consolence to the Osmond family. You are a great example and beacon to the world, shinning the Gospel light unto the world with your talents. George is now with Olive and other beloved members of your dear family ever after and eternaly.

That was a touching tribute, Nathan. I'm so sorry for your loss. Grandpa Osmond will be missed.

I appreciate the opportunity this article gave me to express my sympathies to you and your family. I hope the funeral for Grandpa Osmond gives you the peace that I felt a couple of months ago at my own Grandpa's passing. It's a wonderful gift those of us that live on to get to say good-bye.

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family during this time. How great it is to know that we will be together again and that we are always tied to each other for time and all eternity.

I have been watching the Osmonds for years starting with the Donny and Marie show and continuing through the generations. The Osmonds are a family to admire, they survive though hard times with dignity and grace as I am sure they will all survive the passing of a Father, Husband, Grandfather and Great-grandfather, though this will be difficult to all. May the memories you have bring you comfort in the coming days, months and years. My thought and prayers are with you all.
