Otha Logan Zachary

EDIT:  When you are done reading this blog entry, please CLICK HERE for another post that I did about my Uncle.  I'd be very honored.

Otha Zachary
Born in Jamestown, TN on Apr. 18, 1937
Departed on Jan. 6, 2009 and resided in Anderson, IN.

Anderson - Otha "Junior" Zachary, 71, Anderson, died January 6, 2009 at his residence after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

He was born April 18, 1937 in Jamestown, Tennessee, and lived in this area most of his life.

He retired from Delco Remy Division of General Motors after 27 1/2 years of service.

Junior was an avid Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears fan.

He is survived by his wife, whom he married June 13, 1999, Tracey (Stanley) Zachary; son, Matthew Zachary; daughter, Terri Hogue; brothers and sisters, Leon & wife, Orpha Zachary, Bob & wife, Mary Zachary, Bill Zachary, Danny Zachary, Linda Parks, Carolyn & husband, Dale Wiles, Larry & wife, Debbie Zachary; mother-in-law, Alice Stanley; sister-in-law, Sherri & husband, Earl Hatter; grandchildren, Ashley & huband, Wyatt Mendes, Adam Zachary, Cassandra Zachary, London Hogue & Logan Hogue; two great grandchildren, Lil Wyatt & Deavonte Walker; several nieces, including special niece, Lindsay Merrill, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.

The above was copied from http://www.loosefuneralhomes.com/

NOTE: I originally had this posted as "Otha Allen Zachary Jr.", since I believed Uncle "Junior" was named after his father, "Otha Allen Zachary". It turns out Uncle Jr's name is "Otha Logan Zachary"; his first name is after his father and his middle name is after his paternal grandfather, "John Logan Zachary". There may or may not be a "Junior" on his birth certificate. Many knew him as "Junior Zachary".
