May Mr. Othon rest in peace. I will miss his smile and his warm embrace. I have many memories of my "wonder years" spent on Magnolia St. I was always welcomed in the Othon household. Fun road trips to Fort Clark Springs too! I have been Joseph Othon's friend since 2nd grade, that's when we first met. Now, 38 years later we remain close friends. God Bless you all and may peace be with you.

Joe,
Sammy and I are praying that you find comfort in knowing that your dad is with those that have gone before him and he is happy and celebrating and making a place for you and yours. He is mansion hunting with Jesus for a place big enough for all of you Othon's.
Love You, Sammy and Nancy

I will always remember our trips to Ft. Clark and spending the nights at the house. He would wake us up in the morning and put us to work. We called it the "work farm". I also remember his walks to Woodlawn Lake in the mornings. I would see him when I was taking the kids to school @ Little Flower. You were always welcome in their house. May God take you into his house and grant you eternal rest, and may his perpetual light shine upon you. Amen. You will always be in our prayers. Your Nephew Denis & Leti Perez & family

I send you my deepest condolences. Your dad was a very loving person and our vacation with him to South Padre Island will never be forgotten. May God have him with him up in heaven.
