Give Thanks friends of Otto.
Many of you know the close bond Otto had with his mother Dafne. Thanksgivings were difficult because she passed on a Thanksgiving day many years ago. It is fitting that he should be laid to rest on her birthday this Sunday June 1st. Give Thanks. There are many activities planned to allow as many people as possible to pay their respects.
11:11am - Cactus and Succulent garden planting with Indra at the home they shared at 3851 Market Street. We will plant all that arrive. Visit www.cactusjungle.com for ideas.
2:00 pm – Memorial walk from Otto’s house to the place he wants to rest. We’ll journey there to remember, commune and see the city through his eyes. Wear layers or warm clothes and comfortable shoes. There is parking at the top of Twin Peaks for those who can’t make this 45 minute walk up the hill. A special moment will be shared with all those who attend. Please carpool, take a bus or walk to Otto’s 3851 Market Street. I’ve seen him walk from there to Fisherman’s Wharf and back…on chemo…so please conserve gas.
4:20 pm – Shuttles will take folks to the Urban Art Farm for a celebration of the life and friendships of this gentle giant. Music, dancing, laughs and memories will be on the agenda as only Otto would plan it.
Any changes or additional details will be posted here. Email me with questions randomleekind at yahoo . com.Â
Much Love,
Lee
Thank you to Dae Han, Julie Costanzo, Jennifer Steinle, Gayle Link, Ben Paula, Nate ,Matt and Trip Hosley, Mr and Mrs. Engler and the countless others that have done so much to honor Otto and define friendship in ways that leaves me so very humbled. Otto and I have had this conversation many times and I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude.
