JOHN ORB

John Orb was the CEO at Smith,Barney,Harris,Upham and Co when I was a young man-he was the absolute nicest CEO you could ever meet!Rest In Jesus,Mr Orb!

My deepest sympathies. I knew you from the Smith Barney, Harris Upham days.In many ways you were a pioneer and a leader in a business that still starves for guidance.

My deepest sympathy to Julie, Tracy and Foster. I had the privilege and good fortune of getting to know John and Teel and their family over many
years. He was a great man who cared deeply for his family. I cherish his
friendship. Susan Peck (New London)

John, What a pleasure it was to meet and get to know you through Suzy. Your life was certainly well lived and we will miss you as will multitudes of others. Rest in peace. Fondly, Linda and Steve Millard

Rest in Peace, John. I had a lot of respect for you during my years at Merrill Lynch in Chicago.

Sincere condolences. You will be missed.

It truly was a privilege to have known and shared wonderful family times with you John. I have noted with age as our years grow in number we question the legacy we will leave and the positive impact we hope to have had on family, friends, colleagues and other paths we have crossed. Well John, you have that covered in spades and then some. There is that old comic relief that I recall having seen in the New Yorker a number of years back and it offers a visual scene of a gentleman who went...

I am not sure how John would feel about this new technology but he surely believed in always trying something new and not being caught up with the past, "there is nothing more boring then being stuck in the past". So here is to the future John, it is going to be sad not to share it with you but I will cherish the time we had together. Thank you for everything especially for loving us. I love you John, Tracy
