Dennis Edward Osicki
Dennis Edward Osicki, age 81, of Wickliffe, peacefully passed away on May 21, 2024, at his home.
He was born on March 20, 1943, to Edward and Anna (nee Kollar) Osicki in Cleveland.
Dennis served his country proudly in the U.S. Air Force.
He was raised in Maple Heights, where he also met the love of his life, Susan Savarino. They married on Oct. 23, 1965, and they made a wonderful life together. Susan sadly passed away in 1991, leaving Dennis with many cherished memories to share with family and friends.
Dennis was a supervisor at Lincoln Electric, where he began working in 1965, overseeing operations with a mix of expertise and a friendly demeanor. After a long and fulfilling career, he retired from Lincoln Electric in 2002.\
Dennis wasn’t just a chatterbox by reputation; it was practically his superpower. He could strike up a conversation with anyone and make them feel like an old friend. His love for socializing was only matched by his love for a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon. If there was a party, you could bet Dennis was there entertaining the crowd. He thrived in the company of others. He was the life of every gathering; He loved telling his endless stories and meeting and making new friends.
He had a passion for golf. He missed hitting the links and often talked about getting back out on the course, his loyalty to Cleveland sports teams – the Browns, Guardians and The Ohio State Buckeyes – knew no bounds.
In his quieter moments, Dennis could be found basking in the sun, with a PBR in his hand, enjoying every moment of life.
But nothing brought him more joy than being surrounded by family; he loved playing croquet with his children and grandchildren, weaving memories that would last a lifetime.
Dennis leaves a legacy of laughter and love, survived by his children, David (Debbie) Osicki, of Leroy Township, Aimee Osicki, of Henderson, Nev., and Daniel (Elizabeth) Osicki, of Chester Township; brother, Ken (Sharon) Osicki; sister, Cindy Osicki; grandchildren, Nathan (Hannah) Osicki, Josh (Nicole) Osicki, Jake (Payton Skender) Osicki, Bailey Osicki, Kyle Osicki, Ryan Osicki, Marley Scott and Sydney Scott; and great-grandchildren, Ella, Chloe, Lily, Gabryela, Jonathon, Vincent and Joey.
A visitation for friends and family will be held Thursday, May 30, 2024, from 10-11 a.m., at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 9925 Johnnycake Ridge Road, Concord Township. The Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 11 a.m. A private family burial will be held at All Souls Cemetery in Chardon Township.
