OTIS CLAY ALLEN JR, Otis Clay Allen Jr, the son of Otis Clay Allen Sr and Dorothy Mae (Love) Allen, was born in Indianapolis, IN on April 16, 1952. Otis was the oldest son and second eldest of their 5 children.

OTIS, as a youth, attended Hillside Christian Church and later in life he accepted Christ as his Savior.

During these years Otis was employed at Interstate Foundry for over 10 years. He also worked for Reeds & Son Roofing for several years. He was able to obtain several certifications of HVAC Technician, ACE Machinist, and Small Engine Repair.

Otis loved loved loved to fish and have a beer or 2. He was an avid hunter and many times would bring home dinner.  He kept busy repairing parts or working on his truck, spending time with his brothers, family, and friends. He never would mind giving a helping hand as long as the person he’s helping didn’t mind being told to move out the way! During the later years of life, his days were consumed with his best friend “Sparkle”. Anywhere you saw him, you would see her (in the front seat riding shotgun).
