Orval Aylesworth Obituary
Orval E. Aylesworth
"Down the road, baby,
down the road . . ."
He was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Shirley, in February, 2010.
Orval was proud of his WWII service. He was a Pearl Harbor survivor and always said he was invaded once and participated in five of the major invasions.
He is survived by his children, Lee (Yoon); Sue and Jon (Shannon); grandchildren Jeff, Alison (Joe), Gary, Aaron, Carl and Lynn; and great-grandson, Matthew. He will be missed by many more extended families and friends. We love and miss you, Dad, and know that you are again holding hands with Mom!
Please join Orv's family at a memorial on April 23, 2011 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to be held at the Lake Steven's Senior Center, 2302 Soper Hill Road, Lake Stevens, WA 98258-4262.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Disabled Veterans Association in Orv's name.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

To Orval & Shirleys family. Growing up with these two fine kids in Edgecomb was a great experience for us all. They were very nice people and came from good families. I'll be joining them soon. You can be proud to have had such fine parents. They were great Americans.

It was such a privilege and honor to be included in a visit with Orval and Grandpa (Leonard) a couple of weeks ago. Listening to them visit and kid with each other, warmed my heart. Orval will be very deeply missed.
