Charles L. Orr

A minister meets many worshippers in their lifetime. I was not a member of WPC; however, The Rev. Charlie Orr was a major influence in my life and ministry. From 1978-1995 I lived in NYC and attended Madison Ave. Pres. Church there. During a period in the late 1980s, a retired minister from WPC served as the Interim of Madison Ave. It was a period when I was back and forth at times between NYC and LA as an actress.

RIP Sir. Charles Orr. Have an eternal life with God The Father and His Kingdom In Heaven. Amen , from God to you to Mrs. Orr and your whole family, many thanks for touching my life and giving me a shelter from PATH. Gob Bless Us All. Amen

He was an insightful pastor at WPC in the early 1970s.

Dr. Charles Orr was a highly intelligent, caring, generous, kind, loving man. I was a member of the Westwood Presbyterian Church in the 1990s and 2000s. His sermons were powerful and memorable to me because he always linked the message of scripture to current events and to literature. The message perhaps felt more relevant because of his artful delivery. May god bless Charles.

What a thoughtful, thought-provoking man and what a pleasure it was to know him and Claire, while a member of Westwood Presbyterian and in a nonsecular context too - we shared many interests, especially in the arts. I treasured our conversations about faith and other things, and of course now I wish there had been more of them.

A life well-lived, undoubtedly. My best to Claire and their family.

More than a pastor at WPC during my year at UCLA, 1972. Charles provided inspirations during times in need. I will miss him.

My husband and I were at seminary with Charles. Our deepest sympathy for the loss to the family and the community. He served his Lord well. Bob and Genece Warren

Uncle chic was my Dear uncle. My most fond memories was of the many times he took me to the movies was such good times. The times of family gatherings was great and he was always the star of the day growing up in his teachings will always be remembered. My family was very few but spending all my life under his wings was a fulfillment. He performed many wonderful moments and when he married Marlene and I 39 years ago we both
Knew God blessed us through him. We love you always Uncle Chic....
