I am so sorry for your loss. As a teenager, Otis would come live with us in California, during the summer-time, while he worked with Dad (Robert and Nina Green). I got to call him "Uncle Otis" even though that wasn"t quite correct. I will always remember his shy, sweet smile.
Dad sends his love and condolances and says "we had us some good times".
Love,
Phyllis and David Liles and Robert L Green

Thinking of you and yours at this time, Paul and Kelley. Otis was surrounded by Love and don't we all want it to be that way at the end of this life, but certainly we know that there is no end to Life or to Divine Love/God. Praying for God’s peace and love to be surrounding you every step of the way. - Janice
