Otto Chester Hayes
7 Mar 1917-10 Nov 1995
Otto Chester Hayes was my father and I miss him very much. He was a World War II Veteran, awarded with three bronze stars and two purple hearts. I hope that someone will read this and maybe get the opportunity to change the way their life ends. My Dad was an alcoholic. All through my childhood and young adulthood, I loved my father yet hated what and who he was. Through several despairing years, and many different changes in my life, I came to have a personal relationship with God. I started to attend AA, Alanon and church. I was able to confront my Dad and forgive him. Just months later, he called me and asked me to forgive him. Later that year, he had an accident while drinking and ended up just a few feet from the river. That was the last time Dad ever drank any alcohol, he was 71 years old. Over the course of the next seven years, I got to have the Dad that I never had and my children had a grandpa. When he was 76 he had an aneurysm rupture, but he survived. After that he had a series of strokes. Through all of his medical problems we grew even closer. Mom passed away in June of 1995 and Dad had the second aneurysm in November. He chose not to have surgery because the strokes were causing his mental abilities to deteriorate. He said that he wanted to go and be with his wife and we accepted. This is a story of it's never too late. My siblings were not able to reach the same level of forgiveness as I was. I feel that they got cheated because they never really got to know the real Otto Hayes. He was a very sensitive person, very intelligent and worried about the "old" people that lived around him, although he was one of the oldest. He purchased a riding lawn mower because some of those "old" people couldn't cut their grass anymore and he couldn't cut his and theirs with his push mower. He really did have feelings. I miss him and my Mom so much that even today, five years later, my frequent visits to the cemetary leave me crying. I love you mom and dad.
