For many years Orville was a special friend!

Orville you taught me alot about salemanship! You taught me alot about taking care of the customer and how to bring a smile to them.

I have many great memories of my Great Uncle Orville, the first that comes to mind is he always called me Agnus. He called my friends Agnus too! He enjoyed teasing and making others laugh while making us all feel welcome in his home or at the cabin. No one ever had to ask for any refreshment, his bar was always open. Cheers to you Uncle Orville!

I have some many wonderful memories of "Uncle" Orville. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. I am sure he and my dad are having a cocktail at this very moment.
