I have known otis since i was a little girl.My father and Otis

were good friends.Everytime i think of otis,all i see is a great big smile. He was a wonderful man.He will be missed.My deepest sympathies to the Lyons family.

Otis was one of the most knowledgeable people that I have ever met. He had a wealth of information and could quote statistics on sports figures from 40 years ago. He was amazing. Rest in Peace Otis, you were a wonderful person.

I am deeply saddend by the passing of my friend Otis. As a young lawyer he taught me the law and more importantly, how to live. He was truly my friend. He will be missed.

With fond memory of a man who begining some 25 years ago was always most helpful to a young lawyer. He always dispensed expert advice on how to handle matters before the Register of Wills with glad hearted kindness.

Otis was one of the most intelligent men that I've ever met. He amazed me with his historical stories of lawrenceville and anywhere else in the world at our rotary meetings. I will miss him very much.

Dear Family,



You have our heartfelt sympathy and our prayers are with you during your time of sorrow. "The Lord will be your everlasting light and your days of sorrow will end." Isaiah 60:20

I'll sadly miss my good friend Otis. He was always there for me, when I needed to know about some issue when I was the Asst. Chief of Police of Pittsburgh. Otis always had time for a pleasent conversation and advise everytime I would see him. He was always very supportive during my time with The Sahara Temple Thunderherd Jr. Drum and Bugle Corps. I'll miss you Odie.

I remember Otis so well for so many years in Rita Kane's office and afterwards on City Council; he will be missed very much; kindest regards to family and friends

I was saddened to hear the news of the loss of this friend who appeared anxious to lend a helping hand to all that crossed his path. He touched the lives of many. May he rest in peace.

Otis was a great guy, I met him at Schenley High School and we became great friends.

I was originaly from Polish Hill in Pittsburgh and he used to call me the Mayor of Polish Hill.

My sumpathy to his wife I only met her once at the funeral home when my bother Dr. John Ories wife died.

OTIS MAY YOU REST IN PIECE and KEEP SMILING IN HEAVEN !

I wish to express my deepest sympathy for the loss your beloved husband. As a former Lawrenceville resident I shall never forget his humor, willingness to help those less fortunate, and above all his devotion to his church and his community.



May God bless and keep you during this time.

Our sincere sympathy to Dolores & family. Otis was a great man and always had on a smile when he greeted us and called us both "Smitty". A generous and giving man who will be truly missed by all that knew him.

A good and dear friend from years ago in the Strip.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Brother Lyons in this hour of their loss.
