Robert "Bob" Otey

Cy-Otey...gone but certainly not forgotten...I can still visualize him sauntering through the locker room barking and congradulating in the same breath. I haven't thought about that in a long time and it has brought a smile to my face, I don't know if a greater testament can be made to a man who has had a positive effect on an awful lot of people who walked the halls of St. Joe's and WJHS. I'm sure he's got heaven organized and looking good by now!!

Dad,
I can't believe you are gone. I can't even describe how much I miss you. So many things remind me of you. They are great reminders though....so many FANTASTIC memories. I am missing things like your big warm hugs and the silly things that you used to say that made me laugh. I miss the times you used to call and say, "I just called to talk, nothing important." All of those calls were important! I miss our "Goodnight, I love you" phone calls every night. I was truly blessed with...

Jan, Mike, Dan and Allyson:

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your father/grandfather. May God be with you all during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with those that loved Mr. Otey. I enjoyed getting to know Otey during my four years at Walsh (93).

I love pa-pa-o. He was nice. he was nicer than nice. he was nicer than nicer. and so on and so forth. If i could see him one more day, I would make it the best day of his life. i wanted him to go to Disney World with my daddy and i. i miss him a lot. he is in a better place. i'm glad he's with God. that is all i can say. i want to say more, but i can't get anymore words out for some reson. i might get them later.

WE HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES OF BOB FROM COACHING OUR CHILDREN AT ST JOSEPH,S TO THE NUMEROUS TIMES WE SAW HIM AT WALSH. HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL THAT NEW HIM.OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL OF YOU. LOVE BETTY AND FRANK

Dad I will miss you desperately forever.
Thank you for being here for me and teaching me to be "just like my Dad".
Please continue to watch over me and guide me.
It will be so hard for me to go to Walsh and not see you there but I will be there FOR YOU and to represent your legacy as long as I live.

Grandpa, your absence is felt by many, but your presence will remain in all of our hearts. Thank you for the years you gave us and the joy you brought us. You will be missed and remembered forever. I love you.

Your "favorite" grandson,
Dan
