Lucky perhaps, and a gentleman
From the Maitland Mercury report:
To some, Dick Osborn was one of the lucky ones rescued from Maitland’s raging floodwaters of 1955.
To many he was the essence of harness racing in the Hunter Valley and further afield.
But to all he was one of nature’s gentlemen.
Mr Osborn, of Sawyers Gully, died on Tuesday and tributes for the 83-year-old have flowed in from the community.
