John Osler, Jr.: August 3, 1935-March 25, 2023

 

A while ago, someone summed up a real truth about my upbringing: It was so rare because it combined adventure with stability.  Those two things don't usually go together. But that was the amazing thing about the father I had; he was able to give his children both.
 
Yesterday morning, he passed away from the aftershocks of a heart attack two weeks ago. It was a hard day.
 
He was many things, and I have described a lot of them here over the years. Here are a few memories:
 
The Trailing Edge
 
The John Lewis Portrait
 
Accomplishment
 
Cornell v. Michigan
 
Guest Blogger 
 
 The Good Blues Part 1
 
Good Blues Part 2  
 
James Moody
 
Wayne Shorter
 
Beauty and Light 
 
Hipster Dad

Detroit Jazz Festival
 
 There are many more, of course. This blog is a reflection of my life, and he is woven into every inch of it. Over the next few weeks, I'll have more memories, and you may have some of your own.

Comments:
So sorry for your loss.
