 I was the only person who actually stopped at the scene and helped until Rescue could arrive...Are people seriously so caught up in the lives that they cannot take the time to help people in need?

 It is a very sad thing to say that I was the only person to actually pull over and assist with this situation, called intial call to 911.    Are people so busy that they cannot take the time out to help those in need?

Otto, was my neighbor and a great one was he!!!!!  He was one of the most kindest  men I have ever known.  Thank you for sharing this man of greatness with our community.  Words cannot express the sadness it has brought our neighaborhood.  We know that God is Mighty and Great and He has chosen a true servant to take back home. Our prayers are with His wife and Family!!!  RIP My Friend
