 Virl Osmond Jr. was born on October 19, 1945 in Ogden, Utah, USA. Virl was named after his late legendary dad George Osmond whose full name is George Virl Osmond. Hence, he is originally called George Virl Osmond Jr. as he got the privilege to carry his dad's name as his name. He is the eldest child among the nine children.  He loves and adores his siblings very much and has a very deep and close bond with all of them. Virl Osmond Jr. was born with hearing disabilities just like his younger brother Tom. As they were deaf by birth, they couldn't participate and sing in the family business of singing. While Virl can hear and feel a musical beat, Tom was almost completely deaf. Hence, it was difficult for him as a child but he could listen a bit allowing him to study. Because of their hearing disabilities, he and Tom were only limited to the farming responsibilities of the family. Virl quit his studies to manage the letters and mail that came to his brothers. He along with his wife Chris started helping their mother making sure that every mail that came for his brothers was read and decisions were made accordingly. It was a fun time for him because the majority of the emails he received were from girls who wanted to date his brother Donny. They used to send a lot of letters for that purpose. Because Virl quit his school to become the manager of their brothers, he couldn't complete his graduation. But that didn't stop there, he was strong-willed and he completed his study in Graphics Art in 1996 from Brigham Young University at the age of 51. He set a perfect example that if you have a strong will, you can achieve anything. He became a producer, known for The Gift of Love (1978), Jerry Visits (1971) and Inside the Osmonds (2001).  Virl is a member of the Osmond family, though he rarely performed with his
musical family. Their younger brothers originally conceived the musical group in part to support Tom and Virl in purchasing hearing aids. Virl taught his brothers to tap dance and both he and Tom learned to play several instruments including the saxophone. In later years they made occasional appearances with their brothers and sister, most notably the Christmas specials during the 1970s and early 1980s. All nine Osmond siblings studied karate under Chuck Norris. Both Virl and Tom are hearing impaired. Their disabilities were the inspiration for the Children's Miracle Network. Olive Osmond started the Osmond Foundation, which sponsors the Children's Miracle Network. Marie Osmond serves as Chairperson of the Foundation. Tom and Virl were also the first deaf missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
