He married Brenda Phelps on May 14, 1982 and they were married 18 years prior to her passing in 2000. He was a member of the Cooke County Cowboy Church and the Kiamichi Wilderness club. Otis was a man who loved being outdoors, he loved to camp and hide away in his cabin up in Oklahoma, he loved coon hunting and frog gigging. He was a world class trader by heart, he loved to wheel and deal with people whether it was at a garage sale or selling cars as he did for 38 years. He spent his early years working in the pharmacy business for Mays Pharmacy in Sherman and for Mckesson-Robbins Pharmaceuticals out of Louisiana. Later in life Otis bought the Whitesboro Dairy Queen and there he settled into what he loved best, talking and dealing with friends and the Whitesboro community. Otis was a wonderful man, one who especially loved his family, this community and its people.
