Jerome M. Ottoson

Jerry (or Papa, as I always called you),
you were the best grandfather anyone could ever ask for. It has been almost 10 years since your passing and your absence is felt every single day. There are so many things I wish I could talk to you about. I simply do not have the words to describe how much and how deeply I miss you. I have nothing but good memories of you and I hope wherever you’re at you know how loved you are. I’d give anything to just hug you one last time. Happy birthday Papa.

My Dear Belinda. I am sadden and shocked to hear of the loss of Jerry. He was a wonderful man. He always had a smile and wonderful sense of humor. I so enjoyed working with both of you. You made the perfect couple. Remember the good times and years you spent with Jerry. May God hold you and your family in his loving arms.

Jerry,
You were an amazing father and a doting papa. Your good humor and kindness brought you many friends throughout your life. Your positive personality affected all around you, and we are all better people for having you in our lives. I love you so much, thank you for giving me the honor of calling you dad.

Since I have know Jerry for over a half a century, I can honestly say that there is no nicer, gentler, caring guy walking the streets of SLO town. Always a chuckle and something nice to say. Will be missed !!!!!! Steve Boyle
