Want to give my condelences to all at Pettigrew for the passing of Mr.John Orr,he was a very sweet and intellegent man.Eventhough I worked for him for a very little time, I learned a lot from him. I am so glad he gave the oppurtunity to work for him. He will be dearly missed.

John was a kind man with a generous heart. He provided myself and many others opportunity and support during difficult times. For that, I am eternally grateful.

My Uncle Johnnie was a very nice kind person. I have very fond memories of him as I was growing up. Uncle Johnnie liked helping people and I will miss him.

I consider myself fortunate to have known him. I will cherish all my memories of dinners, parties, and Thanksgivings spent together. He will forever hold a special place in my heart and will be missed.

John and I met at Thanksgiving. What a wonderful person.

Thanks to John and Pettigrew CampBowWow Dallas was able to get started and thrive. John was a huge dog lover and often came by the camp with Zochi ( his Italian Greyhound) to check in and see how we were doing. We all will miss those chats...
