    R.I.P. to one of the best sound guys this area has ever had. But beyond that, Ott was a very down to earth and friendly kind of individual. I can not imagine the grief his family is experiencing right now, and I pray that The Lord will give them strength.

    Denny and I went thru school together. He was a kind soul who put family first. My heart goes out to his family and especially Denny’s wife Kim. We will miss him and his passion for music. Gone way too soon for all left behind.

    So sorry for your families loss. “Ott” never let you pass at work without saying, “hi. How have you been?” I worked with him in different areas over many years.
