Obituary For Dr. Carroll P. Osgood, M.D.
Dr. Carroll P. Osgood, M.D.
Oct. 8, 1939 - May 7, 2023
Dr. Carroll P. Osgood, M.D., 83, of Hollidaysburg, passed away unexpectedly Sunday at Conemaugh Nason Medical Center.
Carroll “Ozz” was born in Hartford, CT, the son of the late Carroll P. and Carolyn (Barnitz) Osgood. He married Diane (Schoonmaker) Fetchko on April 9, 1983.
Ozz is survived by his loving wife, Diane; two daughters, Susan Osgood of San Francisco and Polly Chamberlain of State College; his first wife, Emily Osgood; two step-daughters, Lisa Fetchko of Los Angeles and Betsy Fetchko of Ellicott City; his son-in-law, Lucas Rios-Giordano; and four grandchildren: Will T. Fetchko (Rachel), Ivan Rios-Fetchko (Kathryn), Francine Rios-Fetchko, and Ian Robert Chamberlain.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Judith B. Osgood.
Ozz was a 1957 graduate of The Loomis Chaffee School in Connecticut and a 1961 graduate of Williams College; he was an enthusiastic supporter of both schools. A 1965 graduate of Jefferson Medical School, he completed his residency at Emory University and practiced as a neurosurgeon in Bangor, Maine and Altoona for nearly fifty years.
After his residency, Ozz volunteered as a doctor with the medical corps of the U.S. Army in Vietnam, where he was awarded a Bronze Star with a “V” for valor. In 1991, he joined the Army Reserves and served in Texas for three months during Desert Storm.
A grateful resident of Hollidaysburg for over forty years, Ozz particularly enjoyed the twenty-four years that he and Diane spent on “the farm.” He was known for his voracious reading habits, his love of dogs, and his sophomoric sense of humor.
Over the years, Ozz gave back to his community in numerous ways. He volunteered with the Blair Regional YMCA, where he was Board President Emeritus. He also belonged to the Quaker Prison Visiting Society and was a deacon at First Presbyterian Church in Hollidaysburg. After retiring, Ozz worked on a research project measuring cognitive impairment with Penn State Altoona and Cove Forge Behavioral Health. His last gift was to donate his body to the University of Pittsburgh for teaching and research purposes.
Friends will be received from 1 - 3 p.m., Saturday, May 13, 2023 at the First Presbyterian Church, 601 Walnut Street, Hollidaysburg, PA 16648. A memorial service, with military honors, will follow at 3 p.m., officiated by Rev. Janie McElwee-Smith.
The family requests that contributions be made in Ozz’s memory to: Blair Regional YMCA, 1111 Hewit Street, Hollidaysburg, PA 16648.
Arrangements are by The Stevens Mortuary, Inc.

Dear Diane and Family, Bob and I are so sorry to learn of Ozz's passing. We met him shortly after you did and were with you as you dated and married. He was funny, quirky and quite the gentleman farmer. He was instrumental in diagnosing Bob's AVM and getting me out of pain with my two cervical disc surgeries. We were always so grateful!! We are so very sorry that we are in Ireland and unable to be with you on Saturday. Please know that we will be with you in spirit and accept our sincere sympathy. Sally and Bob

Sorry to hear of your loss. I have never met you but have heard nothing but good things you have done like the time you saved my husband back in 95 even though he wasn't married to me then he has told me that you came home in time to see him fall off your roof and you called life flight
