Otts was an Army veteran who served during the Korean War and remained a member of the American Legion Post 258. He worked 43 years at Thilmany Pulp & Paper as an oiler in the maintenance department and was a member of the Quarter Century Club, retiring in 1994.

In addition to his parents, Otts was preceded in death by his sister Angeline (Ralph) Vanevenhoven; father and mother-in-law Richard and Margaret Hartzheim; and brothers-in-law Richard Walker, Tom Downey, and Ken and John Hartzheim.

Otts's family would like to express special thanks to the wonderful staff at Manor Care for their care and compassion over the last year and a half. Otts, 'til we can dance again, I love you - Toots Dad, free of the Parkinson's at last, enjoy! We will remember you fishing and polka dancing and always holding the Queen of Clubs. We love you! Grandpa, we hope you were pointed toward heaven, because like you taught us, if you're not pointed in the right direction, you can't get there from here. We love you and we'll miss you.
