Otto is no more? That simply cannot be….

It took time to sink in, this sad reality.

But when it did, the tears poured out in streams,

And along with the memories, came endless words in reams.

I couldn’t keep them in, so I decided to put them out,

To share with others, specially those who hold him dear,

Hoping it will serve to console and to cheer.

It became so long, I had to put it in a file,

Do open and read it, for I think it will make you smile.

And here below is just a little piece,

To these two eternal mentors

Who can never rest in peace!
