I've known Rabbit since I was a child... Ms. Lurena worked in the Restaurant next door to the Rock building we lived in, which later became the Soul House. Nobody could make a hamburger like her! Last time I seen her was when cooked in Ms. Lena's old place. And nobody could lay tile like Mr. Andrew!! Take Your Rest Rabbit...😇🌹 You're going home

Sitting here feeling speechless about this, I have so many memories of Rabbit with Janice Booker and myself. Rest in Peace Ole friend until we meet again. Mary Wilson

My deepest condolences to the entire family of Andrew Otey Jr. Family hold on to God unchanging hands.

Praying for the family. May God's Comforter keep you in the days ahead.
