OREM, Utah — The musical legacy of the Osmond family in Utah County is undeniable. As they said goodbye to Alan Osmond on Saturday, they remembered what he meant to them both in the music world and beyond.
Alan Osmond's eight sons all wanted the community to hear those feelings, too.
"He always reminded us it's not who you are, but who you become that ultimately matters," Nathan Osmond said. "We stand on the shoulders of a giant. We love our father."
"We were born into a moving locomotive of wildness, and as we came of age and realized what we had, we were so grateful, so appreciative," David Osmond added. "And to have carried on even the music tradition from our childhood — music is what feelings sound like, and we're feeling everything today."
They started their goodbyes in Orem before the final stop in Spanish Fork.
