Robert “Ossum” Saleh

We are deeply saddened to inform the MSUFPA members that Robert “Ossum” Saleh passed away on Tuesday, April 21st 2015 from cancer. Ossum was a great Spartan who played guard in the 1970, 1971, and 1972 seasons. He was a tough Spartan that came from the great Dearborn Fordson High School program. Ossum and his wife Mona have seven children with two of them currently attending MSU. Ossum was known for his toughness, humor, and great Spartan Spirit. He will be deeply missed by so many of his Spartan family.
