Osborn R. Schleentz was born in West Long Branch, New Jersey on Oct. 11 1924, to Charles and Anna Schleeentz. Ozzie served in the United States Army (1943-1945) during World War Two.

Ozzie began his Circus career in the 1950s as a general agent for the Hunt Bros Circus.

Ozzie was an accomplished show painter. and when anyone visited the circus his talents were very apparent, the show was one of the brightest and most colorful circuses at that time. Dominating the colorful midway was a large cowboy which straddled the circus' ticket wagon.
