Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Mary Lou and Trey, my heart aches for you both. Otto was the best! I will forever be thankful for his friendship (and opportunity to enjoy his delicious desserts!). May the many beautiful memories you have give you comfort in the days, weeks & years ahead. With love & prayers.

My deepest condolences Mary Lou. I thought of him recently when I called another gentleman "Otto" because he reminded me of your Otto. May his memory be a blessing to you and the family.

Such a nice man and excellent conversationalist! We will miss his kind ways and sense of humor. May his memory be a blessing to all. Rest in peace and blessings to his family.

Otto (Blue) and I were best friends growing up at Isle of Hope in the 1940s. Blue moved away from Savannah at some point, so I had not seen him since the 1950s. He and I are the same age. My condolences to his family and to his many friends.
