Dear Otto, our sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family at the loss of your father. I never met your dad, but I understand he was a terrific guy, involved with his country, community, and family. If the character that you display is any indication of what type of man he was, then I know he was an outstanding man. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. May he rest in peace and may you and your family be comforted by the Lord's grace and mercy. Sincerely, Mike, Barb, and Ryan Knezevich.

Otto will be missed by all. He was a kind and hard working man that always had a great story to tell. I enjoyed all the nights sitting in his driveway with his son and friend's listening to all his adventures and stories. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. The Shragal's are just a great family and I'm so sorry for your loss.
