Berdett Edwin ‘Bert’ Osgood, loving father, grandfather and brother

CENTERVILLE — Berdett Edwin “Bert” Osgood, of Williams Road, passed away Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, at F.F. Thompson Hospital in Canandaigua.

Bert was born June 26, 1974, in Olean, and was the son of Roy Osgood. He was formerly married to Dorothy J. Bieber, whom he remains close with.

Bert was raised by his grandparents in Ischua on their farm along with a close friend, who he called “Mom” Donna Eckles. He enjoyed working on Osgood Dairy Farm as a young man until his grandparents retired and sold their cows.

Bert attended Ellicottville High School and New Life Christian School. He received his degree in heavy equipment operations in 1992 from BOCES in Ellicottville.

Bert worked in roadwork and the oil fields, where he helped clean up after Hurricane Katrina in the Federal Oil Fields. Bert was a truck driver for RS Maher & Sons hauling milk for more than two years until he became disabled.

Bert enjoyed tractor and horse pulls, but most of all he enjoyed his family; especially being called “Papa” by his grandchildren. He was a member of the Morman Church in Arcade.

Bert is survived by his children, Raliegh B. Osgood, Morgan J. (Chris Pagano) Osgood and Marjorie K. (Jonathan Bednarczyk) Osgood, all of Silver Creek, Roy J. “R.J” Osgood of Centerville and Tyler Shade of Bliss, whom he thought of as a son; two grandchildren, Kinzley and Timothy Prouty; and a brother, Wayne Osgood of Little Valley.

Bert was predeceased by his parents; and an uncle, Danny Osgood on Nov. 8, 2025.

A Celebration of Life will he held at a later date.
