"Oh Orville" were my used words to you when you would say the smart/funny replies to anything mentioned to you. Orville you will never be forgotten. In just the short year I helped cared for you, you taught me to never let go of my sense of humor no matter how serious the situation. Your little buddy Ethan will always remember the play times you had together and how you taught him to play well with others. You are one of the greatest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We miss you so very much.

You were my favorite Uncle as a kid and I still fondly remember your nose trick, the bags of candy you were never without, and your cane. What a blessing you were to Spud and I, our kids and grandkids, and I am so thankful you were part of our lives. We miss you but know your in Heaven and that we will see you in God's time- Spud and Lori Carlson (Sumas Wa)

We will miss Uncle Orville - always looked forward to the annual phone call at Christmas! The visits to Florence to see him over the years, and various family gatherings at Finley and Jean's and Mom and Dad's. What a positive person he was. I imagine him and Grandpa Finley are telling stories together again. God Bless and Rest in Peace Uncle Orville.
