Uncle Otto will always be remembered by my son Tim and I. Tim must have been a farmer in another life. He has the best garden, just like Uncle Otto. He also raises his tomatoes just like Uncle Otto in tires. I remember the reunion we had at the farm and all the wonderful corn Uncle Otto cooked. He is truly missed and loved. Pop Stanton is with him now. My love to Aunt Betty.

Uncle Otto always made me smile. No matter what question I had about gardening he was always willing to help. My son Tim is just like him, even though we live in Northern Virginia a large portion of my back yard is a garden. Like Uncle Otto, Tim can grow anything. I'll always remember the visits to the farm and the family reunion we had there. Loving and knowing Uncle Otto was also work, helping can bushels of tomatoes, freezing corn. But they sure were good when winter came. Mom is with him now and I'm sure is telling both Ron and Uncle Otto how to fish. Always know that he is loved and missed.
