Not sure what to say?

I was an assistant coach under Coach Otto in 1984. Great man, great coach, great mentor.

Mrs. Otto - My entire family was saddened to hear of your husband's passing. We all have fond memories of him. My brother Jaime and sister Maria remember him as a fun and kind teacher. I remember both of you coming into the Credit Union (before it merged into Ent). And we all remembered how highly our father, Hank, spoke of him.

May God comfort you and your family at this time.

Sincerely - Renee Lujan

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bob's family. I enjoyed getting to know Bob during my 4 years teaching at St. Mary's. He was definitely a people-person and a wonderful guy. I remember Bob coming to get me in a snow storm when my car wouldn't start and bringing me to SMHS.

Maureen and family, our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time. Bob was my football coach my senior year at St. Mary's and it was his first year coaching there. He was truly a great person and coach and will be missed. Over the years I would attend a football game just to see Coach Otto and every time he would great me just like he did in high school. Even though he is gone he has touched so many lives over the years that there is a part of him in everyone he taught and coached.

Mr Otto was an inspiration to many students at SMHS and a very motivational teacher and coach. You will be missed.

Coach Otto was one of the great men that inspired me to be what I am today. I will truly miss you and will always remember what you taught me.

Coach Otto my friend~my teacher Thank you for everything you did for me.

Mr.Otto was one of the few teachers I remember at Palmer because he was one of the best. RIP Mr. Otto! Thank you to the family for standing by him as he did the hardest job there is! Being a teacher and coach.

Coach Otto was an inspiration to all athletes and young coaches. He will be sorely missed by all.
