Dear Denise,
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Otto's passing. We were first year grad students at Rutgers-New Brunswick in 1973-1974, and published a paper together on trilobite trackways that Otto had found near the Delaware Water Gap. We worked the night shift at UPS and were really close friends for several years before he moved on to Keane College for his MS degree, and then on to the USGS.
There are many fond memories...
Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.
Ron

Otto was my supervisor when I started with USGS in 1993. He immediately impressed me with his knowledge. I always appreciated his supervisory style, low key but when a concern came up, he had it solved by the end of the workday, no fuss. Otto never missed an opportunity to make me laugh with his dry sense of humor. Although I moved on to other supervisors, he remained a friend and an advisor on both hydrogeology and on life. I miss him. Deepest condolences to Denise, Erika, and Kyle.

The news of Otto's death made us very sad. We will always miss him, he was a good, special person.
We look back fondly on our time together and will keep everything in our hearts. Alfred was very proud of his little brother. He always talked and told about the first meeting.
Otto always asked how his St. Michael family was doing. We will miss his report. Denise, Erika and Kyle, we would like to express our sincere condolences.
Love,
Alfred and Maria

Denise and Erika,
Our heartfelt condolences to you both on Otto's passing. I worked with Otto for 30 years and he was my supervisor for 15 of those years. As a mentor he always tried to keep me focused on the job at hand, to not go off on tangents in my research, and to finish my reports. When I became a supervisor, I used his example and tried to convey those same messages to the people in my section. I went out in the field and to meetings with Otto to all of the finer Department of Defense contamination sites in New Jersey and wherever it was, he always knew a diner to stop at on the way back to the office. I will miss his friendly growl, his sarcastic wit, and the creative ways he calculated tips in restaurants. Rest in peace Otto.
Tom and Jeanne Imbrigiotta

My deepest condolences and sympathy to the Zapecza family. Otto made working at the USGS (especially meetings) better and brighter. He will be missed and never forgotten. Hopefully knowing that his legacy lives on provides comfort.

Otto was a kind and warm-hearted guy- a wonderful member of the family, beloved by all and a favorite of all his nieces and nephews. He was really smart, a hard worker and a great brother-in-law. His dry sense of humor was hilarious and he had a ready quip for all occasions. Every Easter, we were reminded “so let it be written, so let it be done.”
Deepest sympathy to Denise, Erika & Kyle on Otto’s passing.

I met Otto in 1978 when I got a job at the USGS. He was a mentor, and great friend throughout my career. We were friends socially and in our work. May he rest in peace knowing the scientific legacy he left as well as all the friends he had at the USGS and in his private life. My condolences to Denise and all his family.
