With the passing of time one is accorded the opportunity to reflect on those who have left an imprint on their life. OT is one of those individuals whose life's work left an indelible imprint on what one individual can achieve through his dutiful work and modeling of honorable service and dedication to improving the life of others. His kindness and giving nature is surely missed and serves as an inspiration for those who want to be of service to others through the practice of law. I will always remember OT and hold his memory as a model for me to aspire to. For his family and friends I hope that his memory provides you some measure of comfort. Sincerely, DeVan Daniel Washington

Attorney Jones was an inspiration to all of his clients. He provided us with encouragement through many legal situations that we thought to be untenable. He may be gone from this life but will never be forgotten! M. FOREMAN.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Ot's family. I had the pleasure of meeting Othella twenty some years ago when I first moved to the area. He was without exception one of the finest lawyers I ever had the opportunity to associate with and an even better friend. I will truly miss him. I hope with the passing of time you will find comfort in all of the things that he has shared with us and will ease the pain of his passing.
Sincerely, DeVan Daniel Washington, Esq.,
