Not sure what to say?

I was sad to just now learn this almost 2 years later. I need to keep track of people better. He was my first adult doctor and delivered all 3 of my children and our family doctor for years after that. Wouldn't have wanted to have anyone else to do it. I have missed him always and will remember him fondly. My condolences to the family. He was very special.

Dr. Orr was a special person in our lives, he delivered our two children and was our family doctor for many years in Brattleboro. When he left to further his career, we missed him very much. Seeing what he did with his life, we are so glad he made that decision. What a remarkable man. May God bless his family.

Dr. Orr was my most memorable professor at Union Graduate College. I have all of my consultation reports with his evaluations saved. I read them periodically. He taught me clinical ethics consultation. He also taught me not to shy away from thinking critically and compassionately about human ethics. Union Graduate College Class of 2008

Dear Shirl and family. Sending my deepest sympathy in the passing of your Dad. He was a kind soul with a calming presence. I will remember your Dad's bright smile and knowing ways. I hope to see you at the remembrance service. Take Good Care My Friend.
