My condolences to the family members. Though we haven't been in direct contact for many years, I remember visits when I was young and how kind Otray and Bobbie were to our family, that of Enoch and Mildred Drost. Blessings on you all.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My favorite story about my brother was the time I called him from college my freshman year and said I just could not continue. It was too hard. He said "Ok but just remember how hard Dad works each day so you could attend college"
I went on to complete my college and get my degree.
There are many other encouraging and yet matter of fact moments from Otray. I grew up calling him " Junior" until I called him " Junior" in front of the president of the university of Lafayette...

Bobbie and children, what a loss of a kind, sincere man with a good sense of humor. Mike and I enjoyed being your neighbor during the “OrchidStreet Days” and most lately I enjoyed seeing Otray at exercise. We pray that God’s warm embrace will comfort you all.

I first met Otray many years ago when I worked at The Chamber/SWLA. During my employment, he served on the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and was involved in various other ways as a prominent local businessman. He was always very personable and kind to me. My sympathy to the Woods family for your loss.
