  1. My family had the pleasure of getting to know Ottis at the Villa. Ottis was my father’s dining companion. I’ll always remember his sweet smile and warm greetings. He spoke highly of all his family. May God comfort you in your loss. My dad is Lloyd Penley, he was at the Villa almost a year and truly enjoyed his time with Ottis. We just found out about his passing. God bless you, Veronica P. Crook

  4. I would like to extend my sincere sympathy to you and family during this time of sorrow. I worked at the Arcade Building in the 60’s and met Mr. & Mrs. Babb during that time and thought a lot of both. My prayer is that you will find some comfort in knowing others share in your sorrow.

    In Christ,

    Brenda

    I fondly recall that you were my very first date which your Dad made sure that my Dad would be the chaperon!!
    My wife of almost 40 years, Nene Shuford, and I have recently built a home in Biltmore Forest and are loving rekindling old acquaintances.
    Hope you are doing well and that you have good fortunes and health.
