John Edward Orr

Mr. Orr was one teacher that always stands out as a guide. I think about his small engine repair class and beginning automotives. I was just thinking about him this weekend detailing a truck, using his trick of a newspaper instead of paper towels. He will be missed!

I´m so sorry for your loss Orr Family! Mr. Orr was an amazing human!

Heather and family, It was such a pleasure to have had John as a friend, co-worker, and fellow Chicagoan. John was a humble man who each and everyday put forth his best efforts helping others. He was a well respected educator who had the abilities to teach at different grade levels and different classes (even the kindergarteners). We enjoyed our time with John and have fond memories.

I was lucky enough to be one of the Sechrist teachers who worked with John. My students adored him! He was always quick with a smile and positive comment for staff and students alike. He was a blessing to all of us.

So easy to be his friend. Miss you.

Dear Heather, Holly and Rob: I am so sorry to learn of John's passing. I so enjoyed teaching and working with him at CHS - he always exhibited that great smile, whether in teaching or coaching. He was one of the best. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Karen Butterfield
