I worked at Homestead Hills as the Activity Director from 2000-2002, I had the pleasure of listening to the "Elmer Dunn Band" on many occasion.
I am very sorry to hear of Otis' passing and I know he is playing in the Lord's band.
Please accept my condolences to you and your family at this time of sorrow and loss.
God's blessings to you and yours.
Sincerely,
Karen Otto
