Robert Alexander ORR obituary

Robert ORR Obituary

ROBERT ALEXANDER ORR Son of the late John Alexander and Anne Isabel Orr who gave him every opportunity in life; the lessons sank in eventually. Survived by three remarkable and much-loved siblings, Judith Anne, Katherine Ross and James Trow; adored nieces and nephews; and, most importantly, his wife and best friend for 50 years, Joanne. Joie and I shared Muskoka's best years with our families, great friends and "kids", Taylor and Burton, a deep love of music and a trillion laughs. My father always said "a laugh a day" was all you need. Thanks to everyone who helped make that possible. Too many have already left. And to his mother, my Gran, thank you for all your strength. I needed it. This multiple diagnosis a few months ago was somewhat of a surprise, to me at least. It was short, peaceful, relatively pain free and about the length of time one could hope.
