That is very sad. I will send prayers to his family. I love what HS has done with his display. It is always spectacular to see it.

Sad, I love his lights!

I wonder if they will add some tribute to him in this year's display?

Always sad when we lose such a quality person... but how wonderful to remember that he will always live on every Christmas season at DHS.

Life is about more than what we accomplish here, it is measured by what we leave behind in our legacy.

Very sad to hear. I just saw a show featuring him, maybe on the Food Network. It highlighted this annual BBQ he gives...this particular year, to firefighters, cops...Each person received an enormous amount of food. It was very cool. As I was watching, I realized he was the Osborne Lights person. Seemed like a very warm and generous soul.

Very sad...but his lights at DHS will always be a reminder of how he valued his family and the holiday season and what it means to ALL of us.
