I only knew Otis for one night. I met him at a party Thanksgiving weekend. He greeted me with a big smile and a cheerful hello, and I could tell by his greeting, that he must have been a nice guy. To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Keep his memories close to your heart.

My memory of Mr. Otis Brown goes back to a summer night in 1999 (I was 9 years old, and my grandfather had just passed). Mr. Otis and my Uncle Marshall rented a RV and came by that night to show it off to my grandma. They invited my grandma and me inside of that house on wheels that I thought was so fascinating. We all had so much fun that night laughing, talking and playing. This memory of Mr. Otis and Uncle Marshall will always be cherished.
