Kenneth W. Otto, age 69 of Wayne died Saturday, June 6, 2009 while at home receiving the care of his family.
He was born and raised in Queens, NY having moved to Wayne in 1966.
Mr. Otto served in the US Army during the Vietnam War with a Military Field Hospital Unit that was never called into active service. He graduated from Bayside High School, Queens with the class of 1956; continued his education at Hunter College(CUNY), Bronx where he majored in Chemistry and minored in Physics and Biology with the class of 1960(he remembers his mom pushing him to be a doctor but he realized his business potential as he excelled in economics classes); he went on to attain his MBA from Columbia University with the class of 1962.
Ken met his wife Veronica “Ronnie” Otto on a blind date when he was just out of military service. They fell in love and married on October 30, 1965 in Queens, NY. Their honeymoon consisted of a road trip by car from Long Island to Quebec, Canada and back. They had no specific destinations other than being together and saving money for the new home they were purchasing in Wayne, NJ.
He was a commodities trader for the Amstar Corporation, NYC where he worked for thirty-eight years before retiring in 1998.
Ken was the beloved husband of thirty-one years to the late Veronica “Ronnie” Otto(1996); loving father of Kenneth W. Otto and his wife Natalie of Weehawken and Michael F. Otto of Hoboken; beloved brother of the late Edward Otto(2004).
