Annabelle, so sorry to hear about Junior, he was one hard-working well-intended man, the two of you together always seemed to make a good team, so I'm sure it leaves a real void in your life, but hopefully you can find some small amount of comfort in knowing he's in a better place and that someday, you'll see him again. Heaven knows, you both deserve it. Sorry I didn't make it to calling hours, I just found out last week when I saw Donnie Wilton and then later, Kenny Shavers told me about it when I asked.
My sympathy & prayers for blessings to you in the days past & days & years to come.
God Bless You & your Family,
Ted Petty

Orlen will be missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow. In my life I have not met a harder working man. Orlen loved life and all around him. He was so proud of all of his kids and grandkids and would tell of all their accomplishments in life & his undieing love for Annabel. There will never be anyone like him. Always looking for his next adventure, this man would do things that would make a 20 year old quiver and back down from. I will never forget him doing the bungee jumping at Geauga Lake. His look was priceless and I sure wouldn't do those things. Even at his young age I think he was probably a spry 75 that day. Even after he retired he alway kept in touch with all of us at Alpha. Even occasionally stopping by the farm on his way back from picking up ice cream, only 5 miles in the wrong direction, just to see how we were doing. We will miss him dearly.
God has gained a beatiful hard working Angel.

Sandy, our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family during this time of sadness. Loosing someone we love dearly hurts very deep. This will be a difficult time for you but you can see your Dad again someday. Hold on to that vision and know how happy your Dad will be to see you. Love you all. Aunt Ruth and Lawrence Jr.

Grandpa,
You were such a bright light in my life--you could always make me smile and I will cherish that. I told Denny that he was so lucky to still have his grandparents and I am so grateful that I got to spend the time with you I did. You will be in our hearts forever.
