Julian Leopold Osinski, age 84, loving husband of the late Irina E. Osinski, of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 29, 2020 in the Einstein Medical Center Montgomery after a short illness. Born on December 13, 1935 in Dayton, Ohio, he was the son of the late Julian and Filomena (Orand) Osinski.
Julian attended Fairview High School where he met the love of his life, German immigrant Irina. They married a few years later and gave birth to their first daughter, Sonia. He attended the University of Cincinnati, where he studied Chemical Engineering as a co-op student. He designed and repairied instrumentation for small manufacturing businesses in and around Dayton, Ohio.
After running his sole proprietor manufacturing business , Julian joined Bentley Harris Manufacturing in 1973, relocating his family of 5, now with son Julian and youngest daughter Tina, to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania where he remained for the rest of his life.
Mr. Osinski had a passion for cars, motorcycles, bicycles, antique radios, clocks, watches, machinery and all things mechanical. He bought his first antique car, a Model T, as a teenager in Dayton, Ohio, and from there grew to collect Jaguar XK roadsters, a Cord, a Packard, a Dodge Hemi, a couple Corvettes, Harley Davidsons, and sundry other oddities, like a World War II motorcycle, a lathe, a moped, an old steam engine, an antique pin ball machine, and numerous antique radios, antique bikes, antique fans, clocks, and pocket watches, repairing all of them along the way.
In fact, Mr. Osinski was the man you thought of when you needed help repairing anything mechanical, with a basement and workshop packed with just the right tool, and a delight to have an excuse to dabble. When he wasn’t tinkering or inventing, his favorite pastimes were reading non-fiction and car magazines, (with a mind that remembered nearly every word he took in) and enjoying a good cigar with a cocktail. An avid conversationalist and listener, Julian enjoyed a lifetime of spirited conversations over cocktails with family, friends and neighbors.
He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and dear friend to many, young and old. His twinkling blue eyes, brilliance, independent spirit, warm heart, humor and kindness will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Mr. Osinski is survived by his two daughters, Sonia L. (Charles) Schott of New Canaan, CT, and Tina L. Osinski; of Petaluma CA; One son, Julian S. Osinski of Woodside CA; He is also survived by his five grandchildren - Alexandra Schott, Charles .Julian Schott, Kristian Schott, Kira Schott and Drew Hallman- Osinski.

Mr. Osinski was preceded in death by his wife Irina E. Osinski, his sister Tonia Sagar and his parents, Julian & Filomena (Orand) Osinski.
