Osmond Telesford

Osmond Telesford passed away on December 30, 2024, at 97.

Osmond was born on June 10, 1927, in Grenada. Osmond's life was a remarkable journey spanning nearly a century, marked by resilience, adventure, and deep connections with family and friends.

Osmond was the son of Agnes Taitt and Eli Telesford. Osmond was also the cherished brother of Catherine, Louise, Darkie, Anthony, Stephen, Rose, and John.

Osmond married Christiana, and together, they raised six children who carry forward his legacy: Michael (Marilyn), Leroy (Pamela), Kelvin (Gracie), Elton (Tiny), Annette (James), and Winston (Patricia).

During the 1940s, he embarked on his first great adventure, moving to Trinidad and setting the tone for a life of exploration. His journey took him to St. Croix, Boston, back to Trinidad, and Montreal before returning to Boston, where he spent the remainder of his life.

Osmond's love for the ocean was unparalleled. He found immense joy in swimming, savoring fresh seafood, and sharing laughs over games of All Fours. Music, sports, western movies, and puzzles were also among his favorite pastimes.

Osmond's warmth, humor, and love of life touched everyone he met. His memory will be cherished by his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and a life well-lived.

Rest in peace, Osmond. You will forever remain in our hearts, carried on the waves of the ocean you so dearly loved.
