In 1966 I moved to Hartford from Chicago, Illinois to be a help to my older sister. I was a freshman in high school and didn´t know anyone in Hartford. Somewhere during my brief stay in Hartford I crossed paths with Lee Otis. I was from Chicago so I had seen my share of great basketball player but I had never seen a basketball player shoot the ball like Lee Otis. We became best friends the year I was there. He was a great basketball player and even better person. This was over 50 years ago...

I just heard of Lee's passing; Hartford is so small and sometimes news travels slowly; my deepest sympathy to the entire family; I've known Lee for years from Brackett Northeast, and the Westland Street neighborhood, he will be missed. May Almighty God give you the comfort you need during this sorrowful time.

Just got the news today,.. wow. It has been a long time since I have seen Lee Otis. We all know he was an iconic athlete. A basketball player with range on his jump shot from half court on in..and that's for real. I most remember him during a game at Weaver High he stoped his play got into the balcony section, and saved my sister from an asault.. that is the kind of man he was... I also remember him & I playing & beating Steve Harris & Preston Jackson 2 on 2 at UCONN during the black student...

To The Wilson Family,

My prayers are with you during this time of transition. I only heard today of the departure of my friend Lee Otis. He gave me the needed encouragement to stand up for myself while we were attending Brackett Northeast School. I will always remember Lee. God Bless each of you. Love to you all.
