Charles Joseph "Joe" Osman, 65, passed gently from this life August 20, 2013. He was born June 16, 1948 in Redfield, S.D. to Charles and Mary Lou (Fowler) Osman. Joe attended Bible School after high school and became a missionary pilot. It was in Bible School that he met Lois Nance and they were married December 5, 1970 in Jersey Shore, PA. They served the Lord as missionaries in the Philippines for one year where Joe was a missionary pilot. He always loved flying small airplanes and owned several throughout his life. His love of airplanes was closely matched by his love of motorcycles. He and Lois took many motorcycle rides together through the country roads of Kansas. Joe always loved a cross-country motorcycle trip, whether it was with Lois, her brothers, or his friends. It seems like he was always traveling. He was a truck driver when he wasn't traveling by plane or motorcycle.

Joe enjoyed reading. Often, it was his Bible or a book that would enhance his great knowledge of God's Word that he read. He was a man of great intelligence and he always wanted to learn more.

He is preceded in death by his parents; step-mother, Mabel; step-father, Ray; and one sister, Helen Osman.

Joe is survived by his loving wife, Lois of Wellington; two daughters, Charlene Osman and her husband, J. Wade Michaelis of Miller, KS and Angela Cathcart and her husband, Jason of Emporia, KS; six granddaughters, Bethany, Rachel, Emma, Hannah, Laura and GraceAnn Cathcart, all of Emporia; one brother, William Osman and his wife, Wanda of Sioux Falls, S.D.; one sister, Margaret Ellett and her husband Mike of Union, MO.
