Farewell to one of the most wonderful gentlemen our family was ever blessed to know. Orin was a colleague, advisor and friend to all of us. We first came to know him during the "Blue Anchor years", and were happy to have continued a business as well as personal relationship with him ever since.
Our family patriarch, Lincoln Chan, has been bedridden for ten years now with complications from strokes and other conditions. Orin was the one person who continued to visit Lincoln regularly year after year, season after season,even though there were so many times when it was sad and unpleasant.
God Bless you, Orin. You are surely in a far more wonderful place. Peace to you, Gerry and family.
With love and sincere sympathy,
The Chan Family

To the Focacci Family: I am very sadden to hear of your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I met Mr. Focacci from his daughter Janie Schwartz, and enjoyed visiting Mr. & Mrs Focacci at their home. Even though we feel sad at the moment, it will get a little easier in time. You have to believe that he is in a better and more peaceful place, with no pain. God bless you. Sandy (Kennedy) and Dan Delise.
