Bernard S. Otis

Bernard S. (Bernie) Otis is a delightful and well-known speaker, writer and community leader who has made his 65-year career in the food service facility planning, marketing, management, sales and consulting industries. His life’s work has included service to many hotels and restaurants in Southern California, Santa Clarita, San Diego, Las Vegas and New York City among others. He has been instrumental in serving several top companies such as Hewlett Packard and Disneyland, as well as major hospitals, universities, and restaurants around the country. His community involvement includes work with the National Indian Gaming Association and the Rotary Club (where he has been a member since 1954 and a Paul Harris Fellow.)

After his wife’s death in 2012, Bernie, a trained Hospice care giver, began working with families of terminally ill patients.

NOTE: Sadly, Bernie passed away after 88 years of living life to its fullest. His book lives on as a reminder to everyone what it means to live, laugh, love and learn – today and the rest of your life!
