Great Uncle Ott was always so nice to everyone. I remember when I was small he always tried to give me money to talk to him since I was so shy and until I got older I still wouldn´t. Also remember the time he flipped Dad´s 4 wheeler. He felt so bad but it was an accident! He was always caring and giving to my Grandma Mac (Flo). Helping her even thou he had a hard time as well. Such a sweet guy! We all send our condolences.

RIP Uncle Ott & Great uncle Ott,
You all are finally reunited! May God bless your family and friends!

Sorry for your loss from all of us:
