Michael Otto

My dear Myke, I still think of you often and the lessons we learned together growing up. I remember your laugh and your smile. I remember your friendship and your athleticism. I remember your sense of fairness and regard for others. Thinking of you makes me smile. I pray for your peace in Christ. Save me a seat; I'll be seeing you soon. I love you brother, Michael De Luca

Wow..It has been a year. How time flies...Berlinda, I am amazed at how strong you are. I've always heard how tough you are, but I have seen it with my own eyes. I'm sure there are times where you are sad, but you still manage to put on your game face. I admire you as a person, a GREAT mother to Bryce and Bailey, and a dear friend.

Dear Berlinda,
I was very sad to hear about Mike's recent passing. Mike was a great friend and a dedicated husband and father. Over the years, we had many discussions about the kids. He was so proud of them and was always there to support them. He was also a great coach and mentor to all the kids over the years. I will miss him greatly, but his spirit will always be around. God bless you and the kids.

I'm sorry for your loss. Mike was a good friend of mine. I knew him in Colorado at Mesa College and at UNLV in Nevada.(1973 to 1976 ) He ran the campus in both places. I made a painting of him as a UNLV Rebel, Tackling a runner, from a UPI photo. Wow this is really sad.

Dear Berlinda: I played with Myke my freshman year in 1973 at Mesa, Myke's sophomore year. I first met Myke, Steve Lange, and Wendell Hardy at Frank Martinez's wedding to my girlfriend Jackie's first cousin, Terri, the previous May. I liked and admired him alot. Myke looked out for me since he knew me from Frank's wedding. I am deeply sorry. My wife and I are praying for you and yours and for Myke. Kevin Burke (Denver)

Im so sorry to hear of the death of Michael Otto. I have always thought of him often. I was a team mate of his at Mesa College and a good friend. He will be missed. Rest in peace Mike.

To the family of Michael Otto,
I never knew Michael, but being a fellow Southwest Denverite-I was sorry to hear of his passing. It sounds like he was a true hero and a great mentor. May God comfort you in your time of need, and may His perfect Peace fill your hearts. Please accept my sincerest sympathy.

Berlinda, you and Michael produced a great son in Brice! I remember being so relieved to find out that I had a really fun and intelligent roommate for my first year at Tulsa and I feel that I can attribute that to Brice's upbringing. I know Brice would hate me for saying this, but he is one of the most considerate guys I know at Tulsa. If you are friends with him, he will go out of his way to help you and offer advice when you need it, I can only assume he learned this from his parents. I'm...

I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing growing up in Southwest Denver (*JFK & Lincoln) I idolized Mike as a Great Athlete and role model. I will always remember the pick up Basketball games we played at the Harvey Park Rec. Center.He was a true Champion
