To the Pittman family, Thanks for sharing "Big O" with me as his personal driver to dialysis for the past year or so, he was filled with so much life, always spoke his mind, and always talked how much he loved his wife and family members. Get you some rest my friend, fly high, I offer my deepest condolences to the family Otis was a good man. Until we meet again may God bless you and your family.
