Alan, I want to express my condolences and offer my prayers to you and the rest of the family during this time. Though this is a sad time for you, I would like you to know that for me, specifically, Uncle Otto has always been special for his love of the military and those who serve or have served. I just retired after 20 years of service to the U.S. Navy but it was people like Uncle Otto who made life easier for people like me. He lived his life supporting his country and those who defend it. This type of love and loyalty are seldom found these days…I’m proud to be his nephew and this would be a better place if we had more “Uncle Otto’s”.
Alan,
Our deepest condolences. Our prayers are with you.
John and Zelma Czuhanich
