My deepest sympathy to the Otto family, his friends and to all those who cared and loved him. Mike taught me at Bryan High in the years of 1974-1976. I was involved in DECA and with Mike's help, I had the tremendous opportunity to go to Nationals in Orlando and Chicago. Recenty, I had breakfast with Mike. We were renewing our friendship that began many years ago as teacher and student. We talked about trout fishing up in northeast Nebraska. Mike loved to fish. I will miss him. And, I am a better person for knowing him.

My sincere sympathy to the Otto family. I had the priviledge of have Mr. Otto as one of my teachers at Bryan High School in the 80's. He was my favorite teacher and I have so many fond memories of his classes. Teaching was his gift. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

 I was a student from way back-North High.I saw Mr Otto's passing in the paper and my heart sank. He and your mother were both wonderful teachers of mine. I will never forget what a kind and caring person he was. I am so sorry for your loss.
