He was a sweet man. I met him first while working at Hardees. He would come in almost daily to get his wife some food. Then i left and went to Village Inn, were he would come in by him self and eat. He told me some funny jokes... Always put a smile on when i seen him, he was so kind. Rip sir, thanks for serving!

My Bro-in-Law Otto was a great man. I'm very honored to have met him and been a part of his life. I will miss his great sense of humor. We both could go a long time on several topics, but politics was our favorite. Rest in Peace my friend. Dennis Gonzales
