He worked for NIPSCO for 37 years, retiring as a Customer Service Supervisor in 1990.  Otto was a member of American Legion Post 369 and past member of Club Ki-Yowga (East Chicago, IN.) He was passionate about sports- loving the Chicago Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks and Notre Dame football and basketball.
