Otha was a co-worker of mine up here in Malta NY, he came to some of my softball games, in 14 years of working here - none of my co workers came to watch me play softball.
He was a really smart guy - early on in my career I learned so much from him on the job. Always talked about Sherri, she sounds like a special woman because he adored her.
I haven´t spoken to O-Dawg in 10 years or so, but I am deeply saddened by the news of his loss. Cheers O, fly high brother.

So glad mom and I got to reconnect with Tony, if just for a few hours. Dear Keith, know that prayers continue for the family as always has been. May you experience the Peace of God and find hope in your search for His truth that will set you free, even in the midst of your mourning. You are NOT alone cuz. There are more people rooting for you than you will ever know. Love ya much, Tanya

My condolences to the family. I was a co-worker with Otha at Qimonda back in the day. He always had an easy going personality. Rest in peace, my friend.
