To the family, please accept my deepest condolences in this dark hour. Thank you for sharing Mr. Otis as he was nothing short of AWESOME! He was such a beacon of light and joy! There is truly a void where his Bible once was on his desk, his morning greetings, his wealth of knowledge, and his daily...."I just came by to check on you, see how you doing". A privilege to know and deeply missed!

I will miss my friend. There is a different atmosphere at MPEC without Otis. He may have worked for Print & Mail, but he was a part of each of our departments. He was always so willing to help with whatever he could. He was a comfort to me when I lost my son last year, always offering a prayer or word of encouragement. Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray that God gives you peace and comfort during this very difficult time. Although we mourn our loss, I rejoice in knowing where he is...with his Lord and Savior!
