Leonard Joseph Ottis Jr.

Leonard Joseph Ottis passed away just shy of his 84th birthday. He graduated from St. Francis High School in Humphrey, NE in 1955, and then joined the Army that same year. Leonard helped his father farming until he joined the Army, something he loved but never returned to.

He married Nedra McKee in 1960. She preceded him in death in 1991. Leonard met Grace Granquist at Grace Bible Church in Sun City, AZ and they married in 1992.
