To the whole family we are very sorry to here of Harold's passing. He bought our tomatoes for over 20 years.He was always giving us stuff to help us out. I think he really understood how hard it was to be a farmer. I have had many interesting conversations with him. So intelligent kind and generous. He made the world a much better place! I am very happy and proud to have known such a great human being!

Harold was such a kind man and such a gentleman. I had so much fun hunting and shooting with him. What a wonderful generous man. I learned so much from him. I will miss him. My prayers are with his wonderful family.

Speaking as a member of the class of '61, Dr. Ortman was held in the highest esteem and as a teacher, he was superb..he could balance the both the concerns of the patients with those of his students. My condolences to the family.
