He is preceded in death by his father Joseph Osbaum, mother Lacey Osbaum and his beloved sister Julia Hepler.

He was a Graduate of Male High class of 1955 and served stateside in the Army during the Vietnam War.
Morris was a retiree of the A&P Bakery. He also worked for Vocational Rehabilitation, through the Cabbage Patch matching disabled clients to employers.
Morris loved his Iroquois Neighborhood of 45 years. He was involved with city council to keep the neighborhood safe and make it a nice place to live. He and his wife Bettie retired to Vero Beach, Fl in 1998.

He loved sports of all kinds. He himself was an avid runner and participated in several marathons. He loved horseracing, U of K and U of L sports but his true love was baseball. He enjoyed going to the Dodgers spring camp in Vero Beach where he made many friends. When Morris made a friend they were his friend for life. He always stayed in touch. He was the kind of man who quietly visited friends in the hospital or in nursing homes often sneaking in bags of candy.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 37 years Bettie Blakeman Osbaum. Bettie cared for him during his 9 year battle with Parkinson's and Dementia. He also leaves behind his daughter Lisa Glasscock whom he adored. He loved his 3 grandchildren Mark Glasscock, Rachel Glasscock and Eric Glasscock along with his Great grandchildren Kaidence Guerin and KJ Guerin. He also leaves behind his stepchildren Susan Blakeman Rodgers and Charles Blakeman (Susan) and step grandchildren Angela Blakeman Frank (Denny), Gregory Blakeman and Kevin Bright. We will always treasure our time with him and he will be missed by all of us.

Newcomer Funeral Home, Middletown is handling the arrangements. On Monday, June 15th there will be visitation from 2pm to 4pm with service at 4pm. There will be a private burial.
