East Hartford, CT Tuesday, December 8, 2009 Uncle Osman,A one of a kind man that was thoughtful, funny, honest and humble. I remember him coming to our house almost every Sunday for years. I can hear that blue truck pulling up to our yard. Coming inside to see what mama had cooked and askign daddy something about his truck. Full of conversation for anyone that had an available ear. It is truly a misfortune for anyone that did not get the chance to experience his companionship. He will definitely be missed but most definitely not be forgotten.
