Not sure what to say?

The touch of inspiration from a great teacher is like a gentle breeze that stirs the dormant seeds of curiosity and plants the flowers of wisdom. I could not have had the opportunity to meet Ormond, but his books are a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom. May the symphony of understanding continue to resonate with those who seek it. And may those who water the garden be blessed in this world and whatever may lie beyond. Thank you.

I imagine the world is suprised to learn about the passing of our friend Ormond. I must agree with many of the posts that I read that you never heard Ormond get upset or mad. Thats a good habit to have.

I remember Ormond used to say all we have is time. His sense of humor was priceless. He was really a kind man.

It is comforting to know that he is still watching and that he is now with Delight, his love.

Thank you Ormond and we will see you when we cross.

The training, encouragement and the priceless jems of wisdom you gave me will stay with me for the rest of my life.
To be with you at your 90th birthday party in The Boardwalk Hotel in Los Vagas is a memory to treasure for ever.You are free to explore the Universe now and like here it will be a better place for your presence.

Ormond called me onstage when I was 14 years of age, in 1950.

He has since been a dear friend, a grand gentleman, and a kind tutor over the years.

His memory, indelible and brilliant, will continue to shine for years...

My Dearest Ormond,
What a gift it was to have you in my life. Your beautiful letters, your cheerfulness, wisdom and insight. I cried when I heard you had left us, but only selfishly - because I would miss you. I am comforted to know you are at last with your beloved, Delight.
Thank you, Ormond

Our hearts are deeply saddened. He was an inspiration to both of us, and we will greatly miss his beautiful spirit.

I will miss your regular loving letters, your cheery twice a week phone calls; our hours of talking and laughing; teaching classes with you; your dry sense of humor. You were forever a gentleman a scholar and a friend. I am grateful to have know you. Ormond, you are forever in my prayers and thoughts. Say hello to your beloved Delight- She will weep no more now that you have come home.
When I co-authored our 3 books and edited your Hypnotherapy Encyclopedia you laughingly said "I have...

a gentle man
and
a gentleman

your guidance was invaluable and i am priviledged to have known and met you.

deepest sympathy to your loved ones

It truly is a blessing that we were graced to have for what now seems like a short time such a wonderful human being. Ormond was an inspiration, teaching not only the wonderful craft of hypnotism, but to elevate our standards in the performance of it. Thank you Ormond for the world of wisdom and the gift of sharing. I pray we carry on the tradition with as much style and grace as you have.
