Otis N. Ragsdale

I was thinking about him today, how his scientific mind worked, while at a stop light, explaining the process of currents, voltage, and how electricity works, traveling like a river through wires. We had so much fun with his turning wheel that generated an electrical charge. How long can you keep your hand on the wheel charger? I was his bad kid, always the attention getter. I had a 20' yoyo and could stretch it out and return it to my hand. He was impressed and tried it himself. He was a...

One of the best people that I ever have know. I miss his presence in my life.

I'm still shocked by my pops passing. That was my dude. Anytime I needed to talk about anything he was always there. I plan to carry my name and your spirit forever.I love you man,always.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

I knew Mr. Ragsdale as a church leader and friend to our family. He seemed to lead with a 'quiet command', which always made him approachable and a "friend" to the kids. Kim and Otis Jr. - and the entire family, we offer you our heartfelt condolences and sincerest prayers that God's peace will soothe your hearts.

To my dear daddy, No words can express the ache I have in my heart, it is for purely selfish reasons. You were there for me regardless!!! I thank God everyday for putting you into all of our lives. You became my dad and you gave me a brother and a sister. I love you daddy always and forever. Tell kiss Grandmama and Grandaddy for me.

Our family sincerely & genuinely appreciates your many thoughts, prayers during our most recent loss. Thank you also for sharing just how Dad touched your lives. I always knew he touched lives, but to learn just how & how many makes me smile big - just like we do (you know, I did get that awesome smile of his! ;-). In honor of his legacy, continue to do your absolute best, in all that you do. Never settle for second best, and live life authentically. God didn't make any mistakes. ...
