In Memoriam: Arthur (Otts) E. Davis, III My fond encounters over the years with Otts Davis were both public and private. He was a quiet man, a gentleman, yet passionate about the things he loved; and those were many.

Co-Owner since 1967 of Chase, Fitzgerald & Co., Inc., and Industry Member of the Maryland Real Estate Commission, Otts was the consummate professional. His ubiquitous charm and gift of discretion could deflect any angst usually related to a real estate transaction. His mantra from his web site read, “It’s not work if it’s what you love to do”.

Otts was a passionate supporter (class of “61) of Gilman School in Baltimore. A popular member at the Elkridge Club, Otts was an avid golfer and familiar face in the dining room with his wife and high school sweetheart, Melinda.

Otts loved Baltimore. He had a public persona which came to the forefront with his early commitment to the resurrection of The Baltimore City Chamber of Commerce. His diplomacy and steadfast commitment to the ideals of the chamber were profound.

Otts Davis, the public and the private, will be memorialized by his many friends and associates in Baltimore.
