Notes:  Otto grew up in Vallejo, California, with his older sister Pearl and younger brothers William and Bert.  From 1915 until 1921 Otto worked as a paper boy and earned from $7.00 to $28.00 per month. From 1921 until February 1924 he worked as an usher at the Vallejo Theater and earned up to $11.50 per week.  He then switched to the Virginia Theater and worked there until November 1928, ending as an assistant manager. Otto began working as an apprentice machinist in July 1928 at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, earning 25¢ per hour.  He was promoted numerous times over his years of service there, and had the title Machinist Quarterman during his last 18 years.  Otto retired in December 1964 after working 36½ years at the "yard".  He worked on numerous ships (including nuclear submarines), was a supervisor, and went on sea trials. Otto and Leola wanted everything simple and quiet when he passed in 1984.  There wasn't any kind of service or obituary.  His ashes were scattered at sea.
