Dear Chris and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I remember the Deep Valley days with Scott and my daughter, Tracy in the same class, field trips and etc. My you find peace and know Joe is watching over you.

I learned of this special man and father while serving in the Navy along side his daughter. With much sympathy. Molly Hurda

Dearest Chris & family ~ I moved to Cloverdale with my husband, 5 year old stepson and 8 month old son where we so fortunate to live next to you and across from Paul & Robin. I have fond memories of Scott & Mario and their little personalities shaping and my introduction to the little Neighborhood Church. Joe was so easy-going and when I lost a baby at 5 1/2 months along in my pregnancy, he came to the house that night when I called for help and was alone. The kindness from the entire Otto...

What an honor to have known Joe college days. What care, courage, and competence in everything he touched. Joe and Chris built an incredible life and home, and now care, courage, competence shine in Emily and Scott, and without doubt in Heidi as well.

We treasure the memory of our too-few conversations when we got the chance to meet. We will never forget this day of recollecting and honoring Joe. With regret that we didn't have more times, and with hope that we will share eternity...

What an honor to have known since Joe college days. What care, courage, and competence in everything he touched - seasoned with fun. Joe and Chris built an incredible life and home, and now those traits shine in Emily and Scott, and without doubt in Heidi as well.

We treasure the memory of our too-few conversations. How lucky we were to have a BBQ at Ottos in September. We will never forget this day of recollecting and honoring Joe.

With regret that we didn't have more...

I will always remember the kindness you had for everyone you encountered. May god bring your family peace in their time of need.You will be missed. You helped me many times when i was ill and i will always remember this.

Joe was a great man. He was very caring about the people he helped and had such a mild manner about him. He will be missed by all that knew him. We will all miss Joe, and my condolences to his family.

Words cannot express how much admiration and respect I had for Joe. From the moment I met him I knew he was a GREAT man. I will miss his smile each and every time I encountered him.
He leaves behind an AMAZING family to carry on his legacy.
