The O, you were one of my best buddies since we met 26 years ago at American Motors. Then you taught me to love the game of golf and many other things about business and life. Donna will always be your second girl! You were truly one of the best ever my friend and my life will never be the same without you.

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Although I hadn't seen Oren since our high school days I'm sure he remained the same kind person with that sweet smile he had back then. I know he is missed by all that had the gift of knowing him. God bless

My mother and my self will miss Oren very much. Every Thursday and Sunday my mother Maxine Simmons and my self have lunch at Stivers Bar and Grill, and that is how we met Oren. As the wait staff and my mother and I enjoyed funny jokes or just have crazy talks we would find him laughing behind his paper and would drag him in our talks. He was a funny handsome man and will be missed so much! God Bless the family and friends that knew him because it really does leave a sad feeling when we walk in and know that he will no longer becoming to share a good laugh with us.

I was so saddened to hear of Oren's passing. My condolences to his family and friends. He lived across the street from my mom (Ellie Reynolds) at North Lake for many years, and was a wonderful neighbor & human being. I will never forget all the 'random acts of kindness' he did for my mom. I hope they are playing golf together now 'up there.'
