Elgin Ott

February 13, 1936 — July 31, 2019

Elgin Otto Ott, born February 13, 1936 in New Braunfels, Texas, went to join the Lord on July 31, 2019 in Schertz, Texas at the age of 83.  Elgin is preceded in death by his parents, Otto and Mary Ott and his first wife, Margaret Wenzel Ott.  He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Ann Boeck Ott and his 4 children, Gloria Densberger (husband-Jim);  James Ott (wife-Brenda);  Diane Ott-Densberger (husband-Jeff) and Sandra Ott and his step-children, Jamie Chapman and Jim Boeck (wife-Terry), along with numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and other loving family members.

Elgin graduated from New Braunfels High School in 1954 and after graduation, he enlisted in the Air National Guard of Texas and the USAF Reserve.  He proudly served as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician.  He received a Faithful Service Medal and was Honorably Discharged in December 1962.

Elgin enjoyed a long career in Civil Service as a Construction Inspector at Randolph AFB, where he retired in 1994.
