Paul Parry Osborn

After a brief illness at Dixie Regional Medical Center surrounded by loved ones, Paul passed away on October 24, 2015. He was born in Salt Lake City on March 26, 1950 to William and Margaret Osborn. He attended Highland High School and graduated from the University of Utah. He served his mission in the New England states. He retired from Peterson and Simpson Law Offices and later moved to St. George for the recreation and weather. Paul enjoyed many sporting activities, traveling and life in general. He spent many hours at the family cabin in Brighton.

He married Elise Anne Boas on September 11, 1993 and they enjoyed their lives together in Salt Lake City, Bear Lake and Saint George.

Paul never met a stranger and was beloved by his wife of 22 years, brothers, sister, in-laws, nieces and nephews and always proud to share their accomplishments with others. He was easy to talk to, possessed a clever wit and had many longtime friends who loved him dearly.

When a friend calls to me from the road

And slows his horse to a meaning walk,

I don’t stand still and look around

On all the hills I haven’t hoed,

And shout from where I am. What is it?

No, not as there is a time to talk.

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground

Blade-end up and five feet tall,

And plod: I go up to the stone wall

For a friendly visit.

– Robert Frost
