Ora Eaton Anderson

I met Ora as an Art student at OU, in the late 90s. He allowed me to come to his property and build several projects ranging from small suitcase size items to large rope and timber towers. To my knowledge, there is still a metal pack packer project I installed on his property in 1999 or 2000. I was saddened to hear that he passed in 2006. I took my daughter this week to his driveway to show her where he lived and told her about the kindness he showed me. He was also a wonderful Master...

I met Ora while working on the Anderson family tree. I loved his story telling skills as he weaved his memories of our family into stories which almost seemed real enough that I could reach out and touch our loved ones who have gone on before us. He will be missed.

Andy hired me on May 15, 1972 at OBA. I consider it my great fortune to have spent a brief (too brief) time under his leadership and career guidance. His love for life and nature came through even when we were toiling away at 33 N. High Street in Columbus. What a great guy.

Uncle Ora was one of a kind. We will treasure memories of our visits with him. As a fellow wood carver, I so admired the skill and patience evidenced in his bird carvings. We will miss him.

Ora was my brother, & a very special friend. My memories of his great gift of making everyone feel worthy and special, will go with me always. He gave of his abilities with a passion, and he taught us all a love and appreciation for nature. Meeting him once...you never forgot him. I will miss our visits.....

We will miss Ora very much. He was a gracious and inspiring uncle. It was a privilege to be a part of his extended family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
