Not sure what to say?





I used to run dozers. With orris at Thomas coal & Gram coal companies. I loved to here his stories and antidotes and there was a new one every day. Orris deeply cared for those who worked with him. I'm sure Heaven will be happy for the help Orris will bring to it.

IN OUR HEARTS
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that, too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.

So sorry for your loss.

Orris and Ellen were great family to have close when we were living in California. They would care for Khrystyna, our daughter, for us as grandparents would. Ellen made us home cooked meals and Orris would tell us stories of home. We will miss Orris deeply, he was loved.
