Thomas Rulon "Tom" Osmond (born October 26, 1947) is the second of the nine Osmond siblings.

Life and career

Osmond was born in Ogden, Utah, the son of Olive May Davis and George Virl Osmond. Tom and his older brother Virl are both deaf.

Tom and his older brother Virl were born deaf and did not perform with their siblings. They eventually learned how to play several instruments and in later years made occasional appearances with their brothers and sister, most notably the Christmas specials from the 70s and early 80s. Both brothers became the inspiration for the Children's Miracle Network.[citation needed]

Tom and Virl were also the first deaf missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]

Tom has worked for the United States Postal Service for the past 28 years, then retired in 2014, and resides with his wife in Ephraim, Utah. Tom married Lyn Heslop on January 13, 1972. They divorced in 1989, and had five children together with one passing away as an infant.[citation needed]
