My deepest sympathy, I was saddened to hear of Orrin's passing. I'm thankful that I've been able to know such wonderful family as him and his mother and siblings, and their spouses. It was always something special when they would come to visit or we were going to visit them. Their company was always something we looked forward to and truly enjoyed.
As a child the drive to Illinois seemed so very long, maybe it was because we couldn't wait for the greeting we knew we'd receive upon our arrival. With them the smiles were always warm, the laughter genuine, and the love that was felt there was immeasurable - unforgettable. Although the visits seemed shorter than the ride, each is a memory we're so blessed to have.
We can only imagine the wonderful greetings he received when he arrived at Heaven's door and all the love and warmth that now surrounds him. May God bring you comfort in knowing that he is at peace.
Love & God's blessings to all of you.

My Father was a very special person. He & I got to spend time together which I will always cherish. He made me a wooden Obelisk which I still have. Our walks thru the zoo, as well as Museums. He always made me feel good about myself & wanted only the best for me. My life will never be the same but I know he is still with me both in my heart & in spirit! With Love Always Your #1 Son!!!
