Daniel Otis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 15, 2024.
Daniel Paul Otis, aged 67, passed away on July 9, 2024, in Rutland, Vermont. Born on March 10, 1957, in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, he was a cherished friend to many and loved by his family.

Daniel graduated from Dighton Rehoboth High School and furthered his education at Bryant College and Fisher College. He worked diligently as a floor installer and carpenter, later transitioning to become a truck driver, a role he dedicated himself to for 20 years until his retirement.

Beyond his professional life, Daniel was passionate about the outdoors. He spent many joyful days camping, fishing, and tending to his garden, activities that brought him peace and contentment. He was a fantastic cook and was quite zesty in the kitchen.

He is survived by his loving family: daughter Angela Dumont, son Joseph Otis, and daughter Mary Bickford; his mother, Barbara (Ross) Smith; siblings Jack J. Otis Jr., Timothy Otis, Maureen Perry, and Christine Harrison; as well as four grandchildren ,one great-grandchild and many nieces and nephews. He also leaves two dogs Diesel and Louise. Daniel was preceded in death by his father, John J. Otis Sr.

His legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew him and loved him.

Dan and I met at the disposal area in Yarmouth every morning for 15 years as I was employed by the town of Yarmouth. We also met at Frank's and had him over to my home with Diesel. We swapped and shared many recipes and great food. I know of his dreams for many years to move to Vermont. We will all miss this good friend.
