Hugh Orr Obituary

HUGH J. ORR Hugh J. Orr, 64, passed away September 2, 2014. Beloved husband to Pamela for 42 years; cherished father to Michelle Orr, Melissa Orr and Michael (Martha) Orr; adoring Papa to Jordan, Ashton and Connor; dearest brother to Gail (Steve Walczak) Orr, Lynn Winninger, June Williamson, Dawn (Renard) Patkus, Hope (Jim) Rubensam and Eric (Liz) Orr; cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews. Hugh was always quick with a joke and a smile to make all those he knew laugh even through their tears. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. God saw he was getting tired and the cure was not to be. So He put his arms around him and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful hearts we watched him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Services are private arrangements made by Chapel Lawn Funeral Home 8178 Cline Ave. Schererville, IN 46375.

I just learned of Hugh's passing today and it saddens me so. Hugh and I had many, many great days together those years and years ago. The only bright thought now is that we will meet again someday. May God hold you close and smile on your beloved parents, your dear brother, your many beautiful sisters, your wife Pamela, and all of your children. Thinking of you.

Happy Easter Sweetie,
I can't believe that you left me seven months ago. The pain is unbearable at times. They keep telling me that it will get easier in time, I find that hard to believe. I miss you so much! I am so lonely without you.
Until we are together again. Love you very much.

I was unable to leave you a message on this sight until now my little brother. You are missed so very much. Words will never be able to express how we all feel. I am trying to write this as the tears fall. I am so glad that we remained close through the years and continued to love one another. You are now with those that passed before you and I can see u with Dad and Grampa talking about men stuff, telling Mom jokes and just being yourself. It is time for me to say goodbye until we meet again.

My Big brother,
We all miss you so very much! I just read what Melissa and Pam wrote and I am crying like a baby. You were so loved on this earth and and now our hearts ache with the loss of you! I know you are always with us, but what I would not give for one more of your bear hugs. Love you forever.
June

I love you Papa!

My dearest Dad, it has been almost three months since you left us. I can not express how much I miss you. The saying is true, you don't know what you've got until it's gone. I wish you were here to guide me, when I am feeling lost. Please keep watching over us and sending us signs that you are here. And please come visit me in my dreams, I really would like to talk to you again. I will hold you in my heart for ever and always. I love you very very much, your loving daughter Little Toad!

Sweetie,
I love you so much!

Until we see each other again!

Sweetie,
I finally found the courage to read the messages for you. I still can't believe that you left me so soon. We were supposed to spend many more years together. We had so many plans when we retired. My heart hurts when I think about never holding hands again, no kisses goodnight, or no "I love you." I miss laughing at your jokes, calling you "Grim reaper", and seeing you play the WII with the kids. There are so many things that I miss.
Jordan and Connor miss their Papa. Connor writes you letters and talks to you.

I would love to give thanks, hugs and kisses to our mom and dad, for bringing such a loving, caring brother into this world on April 26,1950. They gave me a kind, loving brother, who made me laugh so hard, tears would run down my cheeks, from his stories and jokes. I wish I could tell you everything Hugh means to me, but this page isn't long enough. For this I would need a book. I love you mom and dad with all my heart, for giving me my brother Hugh.

There will always be seven.

Hope

September 9, 2014

As I look upon the sky, I wonder why God took you that day.
Your family by your bedside, while your soul drifted away.
God will hold you in his arms, and I will forever hold you in my heart.
Goodbye for now my brother, for we will meet again one day. ?
