Dr. Gordon Otto

This is Gordon and me in 1985 at his Houston home following a weekend Deep Gulf fishing trip. I'm holding a beheaded 35 lb. King Mackerel while Gordon has two Mahi Mahi.

Sorry to hear about Gordon.Had science courses together at Austin High. Living here in Aiken SC, I should have looked him up.

Gordon was my B.I.L. for many years. He was the brother I never had,and such a special part of our lives. Loving memories always.

I am glad to have called him a friend. We shared many a story about Greece and working on his boat.

In loving memory of my father. He will be greatly missed and remembered for his love for fishing and boating. Love you Dad. Rest in peace.

We will miss talking to Gordon on his tractor. He was a great neighbor.
