Otto, It’s taken me a while to build up the courage to say good bye. You will truly be missed by me, Annie, Marissa, Dylan and the rest of the Family. Otto, I want you to know one thing, I will always and forever take care of your Annie. It was an honor to know you the last sixteen years. I will miss all the jokes and you calling me Paco. I wish you all the best on your new journey, Loving you forever, your one and only Son-in-law Will
