Otis, affectionately known as "OD," was a character in every sense of the word. He served his country in the US army from 1967-1969.

A lover of all things Western, Otis's passion for cowboy culture was evident in his choice of movies and music. He relished the stories of old Western heroes and was rarely seen without a country tune humming in the background. Singing and joke-telling were among his favorite pastimes, often featured as the highlight at family gatherings.

Otis leaves behind a loving family, his wife, Georgiana Sue (Pearson) Bostic of Auburn; his sons, Matthew (Amanda) Bostic of Fort Wayne, Douglas Bostic of Huntington, David (Tana) Bostic of Bluffton. his daughters, Michelle Miller of Huntington and Deborah Nelson of Huntington; and Satin Lipovsky of Auburn; and his brother Denver Wilfong of Huntington.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Beecher and Lenvy (Bostic) Wilfong, and his brother Thomas "Butch" Wilfong.
