I lived across the street from Roy when I was a child. I moved away from Texas when I was 8 years old. That was 50 years ago and we never lost contact. He was a great person and had a love for animals and gardening. He was like family to me and will be greatly missed. Heaven has gained another angel but I have lost another piece of my heart. I will always love you Mr. Ottmer..

I knew Roy most of my life. He was a good neighbor and great mentor to many of us youngsters growing up in Ella Young Addition. One of the kindest people I have ever met. Godspeed my friend.
