Not sure what to say?

I just wanted to offer up my condolences to the family. Otto was a great man.. and extremely kind. I knew him only briefly when I worked at the Country Club, but I always enjoyed seeing him there and knew him to be very gracious and fun to talk to. I looked forward to Thursday mornings serving the Cosmopolitan Club. My prayers are with the family during this time and may God give you comfort in knowing he has been welcomed with open arms.

To the Schnellbacher Family
Our prayers are with all of you. He was a very special and talented individual who had an obvious, positive impact on so many in his lifetime, his loss will be greatly felt.

It was my great privilege and pleasure to work with Otto during his career with American United Life, where I worked in the Indianapolis headquarters. No one had a greater integrity nor a stronger committment to serve his clients. Otto was a most unique gentleman.

Mary T, Brad and Otto, - Wow. I'm having a hard time knowing what to say. I kind of felt that Otto would always be around. He had the presence that made me feel safe and secure, and therefor would always be there, surpassing all others. I am so sad for your loss, and yet I am reminded of the amazing memories I have of your father. It's those memories we have of our parents that mean so much to us. Each time I look at a photograph I feel their presence and it makes me smile. I know...

We have met Otto from time to time as he and his wife lived next block from each other. He was a very nice man and were saddened to learn that he had been sick for a short while and his death. Our sincerity goes to his wife, Jane and family from both of us.

Jane and Family,

We were so sorry to hear of Otto's passing. While we only knew him a short time, we felt liked we had a llifelong friend. He made us feel special and important. He was a wonderful person and a treasure for Topeka.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Otto,
We are so sorry for your loss. Please know we are thinking of you. Take comfort in your memories, as they will help greatly during this time of transition.

I am so sad to hear about Otto's passing. I saw Otto fairly often when I was a child, and I always thought of him as a third grandfather.... I still do. I remember on one of his visits when I was about 6 years old, Otto brought me a beautiful unicorn stuffed animal. I loved it so much! He was always thinking of others like that. His kindness was amazing!

I feel blessed to have known him.

Jane, Mary T and all the Schnellbacher family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my father, not two months ago, and I know how you feel. May God give you peace in knowing Otto is with Him.
