Survived by his wife, three daughters, two sisters, nine grandchildren.

Otis did not have a middle name. One Christmas, his daughters wanted to buy him monogrammed cuff links, but needed an initial, so they gave him the middle initial "P" for postmaster. He was the postmaster in Seymour, TX. This is where the P that sometimes shows up came from. (This story was told to me by his widow, Eulene POWELL Avary a few months before she died. )
