What Alan Osmond Leaves Behind
He leaves behind his wife, eight sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He leaves behind his brothers and sister.
He leaves behind countless fans.
He leaves behind recordings and songs.
He leaves behind television memories.
He leaves behind a book.
And he leaves behind an example of resilience.
Perhaps most importantly, he leaves behind a family that continues the musical tradition he helped establish.
