I was with great sadness that I learned of Otis' passing.

I always welcomed a visit by Otis at the shop or at the racetrack. A wealth of knowledge, his ingenious, resouceful tips have saved me many hours over the years. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Alan, Glen and Barry.



Saw the notice of your father passing and wanted to express by sincere condolences from myself and family. Your dad was a very nice person and was always courteous and kind to me when I was growing up. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Once again please accept my condolences.

I will let my mom, who lives out of state know about his passing also.



I am including my e-mail address, if anyone wants to follow up.
