Frank Ottiwell

Frank and my mother Isabelle were cousins, aunthis mother was her aunt. I met aunty Rita and uncle Frank when they visited her sister Isabella Douglass.

Miss you Frank! But you are with me every day helping me to be a better AT Teacher. XOXO

3/23/21 I just learned of his death as I was searching the Internet for him.
Frank was a dear friend and colleague. We studied with Judith Leibowitz and taught the Alexander Technique in New York City. He was a kind, intelligent. witty. and compassionate human being. I think of him often.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Still think of Frank almost every day as I teach the AT. He was a gifted teacher, mentor, and friend. Miss you Frank!

I didn't know Frank but I know I am related from family history research, all my best to his family and friends.

Frank was teaching the Technique in the U.S. at a time when professional standards hadn't been hammered out. Rather than being defensive or truculent. He traveled to England and met with and studied with, the most senior teachers in the world.

His teaching had a clarity, a freedom from affectation or ritual, that was a full expression of the humility, honesty, and commitment, that he embodied in all things.

I saw him once, in a small part in King Lear. In a large, noisy...

I have just read the obituary (I live in England). I didn't know Frank, however I seem to be in an extended family of artists, going back to Putty Garbutt (I'm a bass guitar player). My best wishes to his family and friends.

A gentle hero. Wise, compassionate, warm. Sometimes stern, only for the good of the teaching or situation. One of the major influences of my life. His memory will be a blessing for me and so many whose lives he enhanced.
