Otis was a very loving, giving and thoughtful person to everyone; he loved people he never met a stranger. A fond moment between Otis and his wife Carla, she always told him that everywhere they went he knew someone, it began to be a running joke between them. On vacation one year they went on a cruise and Carla was sure that he wouldn’t know anyone there miles away from home out at sea and sure enough Otis ends up running into a friend on their cruise boat. Carla couldn’t believe it, she said that he he just gave her this look and they had a good laugh.
