So very sad to hear of Otto's passing. My first memory and meeting with Otto and Lil came on our honeymoon in the spring of 1970 . Two very young newly weds stopped over for a couple of days in Windsor on our way to Niagara Falls. Otto and Lil welcomed us in, as did their family, and showed us much kindness and hospitality. In the ensuing years on their subsequent visits to Thunder Bay (Fort William) I came to appreciate not only his quietness, but also his quiet sense of humor. His love, sensitivity and appreciation of family was always apparent. He and I shared a common interest in photography and we shared a few stories of our photographic experiences, although his skills far outshone my own. We will miss his kindness and friendliness. It will be a sadder place without him. Dave and Deb Defeo
