Robert "Bob" B. Osborne

December 29, 1958 - October 12, 2020

Robert "Bob" B. Osborne, 61, of Louisville passed at his home on Monday, October 12, 2020. Born in Zanesville, OH, Bob came to Louisville 32 years ago as a territory manager for Lennox Industries. In 1999, he went into business for himself as he purchased and operated Earl Thieneman Greenhouses and Nursery in Middletown, KY for 16 years. He has spent the last several years self-employed doing landscape design and installation. Bob was a devoted father to his son, Zak. From coaching his son’s tee-ball team to being extremely involved with Zak’s Boy Scout Troop 71, from which Zak earned his Eagle Scout rank, his life centered around being there for his son. Not only to share their many experiences but also help guide him along the way in becoming the young man he has become today. Through the Boy Scout experience they had numerous camping adventures and were able to backpack at Philmont Scout Ranch twice, canoe Boundary Waters, and go sailing at Florida Sea Base. Beside his love for being outdoors, his passion was riding his motorcycle across the United States. He would love to pick a general area with no specific town or state in mind, just to experience the back roads and all there was to see. Those that knew him best and traveled with him, knew he always had a “shortcut”, which sometimes lead to interesting results. He was a generous and caring person. He rarely met a stranger and would go out of his way to help anyway he could. Bob will be greatly missed and was loved by many! Bob is preceded in death by his father, Robert D. Osborne. Left to cherish his memory is his son, Zachary “Zak” Osborne; his mother, Bernice F. Osborne; 2 sisters, Rebecca Bonerigo (Frank) and Carol Sayre (Robert); many nieces and nephews; his girlfriend, Julie McKean; and the mother of his son, Patricia Osborne. Visitation will be from 2-8 pm on Friday, October 16, 2020 at Ratterman and Sons Funeral Home-Jeffersontown, 10600 Taylorsville Rd. His Funeral Service will be at 11 am Saturday, October 17, 2020 at the Funeral Home. Burial will be on Monday, October 19, 2020 at 1 pm at Zanesville Memorial Park in Zanesville, Ohio.
