CHESWOLD - Otis Joseph King Sr. passed away in his home Monday, Aug. 29. He was born June 13, 1938, to Ottis and Nora King in Georgetown. He was 73. Otis proudly served his country in the Army National Guard; from his experiences there, he was able to develop a career in Security. Eventually, he used the skills that he acquired there to become a private detective.

The happiest time in his life came when he began rebuilding a relationship with his children. His family meant the world to him, and the reunion with them helped him to heal his soul.
