Not sure what to say?

Godspeed Otis, we will both miss you and your advice at the Trap Club

I met Otis at a young age as I became introduced to trapshooting. As a new shooter Otis was a BIG inspiration to me although sadly, I never told him. Some of my fondest memories were around him at the local Turkey Shoots, State Shoots, and Grand American. Otis was a fierce competitor, mentor, and a jokester. But I admire him for being a true gentleman and an ambassador to the shooting sports. I will miss him dearly. I was very close to my father as were his children to him. My prayers to all...

Sending love and prayers♥♥

Our deepest condolences to the whole family during this difficult time. Otis and you all, are in our prayers. God bless you. Alan & Meriam Czajka

The Special people in our lives are really never gone. They have a cherished place in our hearts where they will always be remembered for the love they shared and the happiness they brought. We are thinking of you with the passing of Otis and hoping you will find comfort in your special memories.
Ray and Marilyn Meder (Dianne's Dad & Wife)

My condolences to the family. I remember Mr. Cochran when he used to umpire the American Legion games. He was a quality person and a very fine umpire.

rest in peace

RIP Otis. I always enjoyed umpiring with you!

Willie, Otis and Dorothy, We are so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
