JOHN EDSON

One of my favorite people Ive ever met.

Charming, open minded, enthusiastic and strong willed. I always bought what Orin was selling.

I began my flying journey at age 40 after I retired from Tech. In 2000, I visited Scottsdale airport. Charlene flew Orin over from their house in the Bell Helicopter ... and, or course, I bought his plane.

We kept in touch either through his pilot Al C. or directly. Always funny conversations.

In retirement, I...

Orin was one of the greatest friends a man could have. I first met him when I was auctioning off the assets of Reinell's wood boat business and he was bidding on equipment and boats. We later became friends and friendly competitors and took cruises in the San Juans together with our wives. I learned a lot from Orin, the most succinct being.."Your business success is assured by delivering maximum value to the customer." He did that in spades and the rest is history. I will miss him terribly.

My deepest sympathy to the family of John Edson. May you be comforted in knowing that our Heavenly Father cares for you. He will give you strength and courage to cope with your grief.
