Worked with John for many years at Bi-State will miss his laugh and sense of humor.

Carrot C dear friend, you are now up in heaven creating much chaos with my beloved husband Kevin. I’m so blessed to have known you. You are one of the best people I’ve ever known. I will miss you greatly.
Hey John, I know you’re playing hockey in heaven. Hope they let you play goalie. If you see my mom up there she’ll probably call you “carrot”. I know you’ll be missed by many.
Love,
Connie “Schlueter” Kempf & Charlie kempf

I will miss you my friend. The game won’t be the same without you. Your kind words I will always remember and I am very blessed to have known you. Rest in peace my friend.
My condolences to the family of Ozzie John Osbourn. I did not know Ozzie personally but only through my son-in-law, Robert Rozen. Over the last several months I got to know Ozzie a little bit better through cards that I sent him and a few emails.
Per my son-in-law he is the best friend he ever had. I could understand that. He was very kind in our conversations and I was glad that I could reach out reach out to him. We had something in common. My husband passed away from cancer over two years ago. That was his third cancer and this one had done him in. I will miss Ozzie. I considered him a friend and I’m grateful to have met him through my son-in-law. Again my condolences to the family. I understand your loss and I feel for you.
To John’s family – Carla, Mom, siblings… I am so sorry for your loss. John was a truly wonderful, kind, sincere, hard-working, loyal person and I am blessed to have called him a friend ever since our days working at Bethesda (“the Dill”). I will miss him dearly but take comfort in the fact that he is in Heaven and at peace. Wish the Blues and Cardinals could have put on a stellar season for John this past year but John, if you are listening and have any pull, the Blues could really use some help this Fall!
Hey John. Sure am going to miss you man. We had fun times together, either at work or just out and about. I’m so glad that I got to spend time with you before you left. Love ya brother!!
John you will be missed by many. It was a pleasure to work with you at bi-state for many years
It is sad to loose another bud from Bi-State. My prayers and condolences to the family.
John and I worked at Bethesda together for a few years. He was a great coworker and a.good friend. Our paths would cross every do often and it was always great to see him. Sad news.
