Rudolph Osborne also known to many as Rudy departed this life on August 22, 2026.

Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad on June 24, 1944. Rudy was raised by his mother, Marjorie Osborne, alongside his brothers Wayne, Peter, Richard, and Robert, and his sister Marlene. His early years in Trinidad played an important role in shaping the man he would become. Rudy grew up with the gift of an artistic view of life when it came to many things. He had a natural talent for working with his hands and understanding how things worked. Whether it was a television, refrigerator, or another appliance, Rudy could take it apart, repair it, and put it back together effortlessly. This made the future prospect of creating some of the largest costumes for the Boston Caribbean carnival feel like second nature.
For many years, Rudy has been a familiar and respected figure in Boston's Caribbean community. He has worked with costume designers and carnival participants from Trinidad and New York to help keep the traditions of Trinidadian carnival alive in Massachusetts.

Rudy was a loving and devoted husband to Juliana, father to Kelbe, Justin and Suzy; grandfather to Ethan, Kate, Sapphire, Curshelle and Jehoshua.
He will be greatly missed.

Viewing will be held at the Dolan Funeral Home, 1140 Washington Street, DORCHESTER LOWER MILLS on Thursday, August 27th from 12-1PM. Funeral Service to begin at 1PM. Interment private
