I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, a good father, and our friend Orrin. I knew him only through our years and SNET and CSC, and some smaller social gathering. Always will remember his enjoyment of life and his sense of humor. God has now granted him piece and comfort. I'm sure Orrin will continue to watch over those he loved so much.
