MY UNCLE JOE WAS A GENEROUS MAN,HE CARED MORE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE THEN ANY MAN I KNOW AND I WILL MISS HIM DEARLY.
The Angel’s Flight
As a gentle breeze blew across the land,
the angels flew searching for a man.
They reached out to grasp a hand.
To our eyes, they remain unseen.
He leaves behind his children's tears,
and Loving memories of many good years.
The angels whisk away all the man’s fears.
For, God has called him home.
The journey home is towards the light
On angel's wings, he has a delightful flight.
The man’s flight is like a swift flash in the night.
Before he knows it, he is at God’s feet.
To those who weep of a life that is gone,
remember that with God's love he is not alone.
For, we shall see him again some day.
However, for now only God knows that day.

I never had the pleasure of knowing Otis Worden Jr. But my sister, Lynn Hamilton and I are longtime friends of Robin Worden. We would like to offer our comfort and sympathies to the Worden family for their loss. I am sure Robin's uncle Otis was a good man and he will be in everyone's hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Worden family.

My Uncle Joe was the most kindess man I have ever know. He spent his life giving to others and never took a thing in return. he lived a simple life, but a very happy one and he made everyone around him laugh. He walked in Jesus foot steps.....and I find people like him very rare.
May God bless him

Sorry to hear of Otis passing.
I remember well the careful and proper way Otis did his job at Academy Ave. I worked with him and Joe there.I still have the snapshot of Otis and I when he came to see me at my retirement dinner.
My prayers are with the family..
Sincerely,
