So sorry to hear about Otis. Spent many happy hours with him and his dear wife Dot at the beach at Weekapaug and in Manchester along with my Aunt Dot and Uncle Harry Jenkins. What a reunion is taking place now!

We are saddened to read of the death of Otis. He and Dot were dearest friends to our deceased loved ones, Dot and Harry Jenkins. Any time we returned to Manchester, we paid a visit to the McCanns on Valley View Drive. Dot and Otis will be reunited in heaven. May he rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Dick and Sandy Jenkins
