June 20,1932 – December 27, 2018
Otto was proud of his Norwegian Canadian heritage, the single child born to Otto and Aasta in Montreal. He grew up in Dolbeau, Quebec where his father was an engineer in the paper industry. After college he came to the US where he worked for most of his work life, as a field service engineer on mechanical banking terminals. When that technology was phased out in the 80s, he settled in Lancaster MA to be near cousins in central Mass. He worked for some years at Weetabix in Clinton, and Intellitech Inc. in Hudson before retirement. He was an active member of the Senior Center in Lancaster and active for nearly 30 years in his beloved Clinton Central Park AA group.
Otto was well known as a quiet , reserved, gentle man, but with a quick wit and sense of humor. His love of steam engines, railroad lore, maps and geography were well known. He enjoyed shopping and in particular the restaurant trips with the seniors. When working in Manhattan he belonged to the Sheepshead Bay yacht club and enjoyed fishing. When in MA , he enjoyed driving trips to the family camp on Merrymeeting Bay in Maine where he will be laid to rest.
We celebrate Otto's life and are grateful for his nearly 30 years service to our group and AA in the North Central MA area.
