Os had a passion for his valley, and was happiest when he had children to share it with. Together, Os and Jean raised four children and took on several extra whenever they came across a child in need. Os was dedicated to his family and was a loving husband and father who was dearly loved in return.
Os will be sadly missed by his wife Jean, sister Marie, and children: Hal, Kathy, Dan (Dawn), Darcy and their respective partners, as well as Linda, who was loved like a daughter.
