Cousins, Othaniel L. “OT” Saturday, July 3, 2021. Beloved husband of Pauline A. Cousins (nee: Velders) for 60 years. Dear father of Wendy (Jerry) Eastman; dear grandfather of 3 and great grandfather of 3. Our dear brother-in-law, uncle, great uncle and friend to all.
He was a proud member of Union Local #88 and Local #655 and the FAC. He loved flowers, sports and music. OT was a kind, sweet man who loved his family and will be missed by all who knew him.
Services: Visitation at KUTIS SOUTH COUNTY CHAPEL 5255 Lemay Ferry Rd. Saturday, July 10, 5 pm until time of service at 7 pm. Service concludes at funeral home.
So sorry for your great loss. Thoughts and Prayers my friend.
I will miss O.T. He and I renovated/built a good deal of the Miniature Museum of Greater St. louis and basically kept it running for a large part of its 20 year existence. He was a good friend and his skills and sense of humor will not be forgotten.
I knew and worked with OT for over ten years as a volunteer at the Miniature Museum of St. Louis. I looked forward to traveling to south St Louis every Monday for our work sessions. OT was always cheerful, good humored and very handy with tools. We always caught up with things over our early cup of coffee. The photograph posted in the Kutis web site shows OT exactly as he always was, with a smile on his face. I will miss him.

I met OT at Concord/Vetta racquetball club in the 1970’s. We started with handball until age and injuries caught up with us , then we switched to racquetball. So, I have known and been friends with OT for more than 40 years. We have fished together , drank a beer or two together. I will always cherish the memories we made together. Pauline, FYI, I still use the Santa suit that you made for me when Santa would visit Bo and Carley.
OT was truly LOVED BY EVERYONE WHO MET HIM!! There aren’t a lot of OTs in this world. I’m so happy to have known him. My heart is with you at this time and always, Pauline!
