Mr. Ott, or "Uncle Cheese" as his many nieces and nephews called him, served his country in military service and worked as a tinsmith for many years.
He was devoted to the Shriner's Crippled Children's Hospital and Burn Center. He and his wife provided thousands of stuffed toys to this organization and believed strongly in helping children. Mr. Ott was a 32° Mason and a member of the Karem Shrine A.A.O.N.M.S. of Waco and rode in many a parade on his customized go-cart for them.
He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge Clifton No. 360 and enjoyed his time there. He loved to dance the "boogie woogie" and did so well into his nineties.
He was preceded in death by his wife, his parents and 11 brothers and sisters. Survivors include four sisters, Lena Wenzel of Hamilton, Erma Williams of Laguna Park, Emma Alexander of Clifton and Louise Orahood of Dallas as well as numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Mr. Ott's name to the Shriner's Crippled Children's Hospital and Burn Center.
