I worked for Mitch at Foss Lake Oklahoma on my summer breaks at my grandma's house. He was a very unique guy with very smart yet unique ideas and I will always remember him... He has a special place in my heart and he always treated me good. Sorry for your loss. God bless you and the family.

Nona and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I've known Mitch for several years professionally and personally. He was always a little gruff but beyond that he was a good man and tried hard. He often spoke with me about his family and how much y'all meant to him. I wish you all well and I am sorry that I just heard about his passing.

My sincere condolences,
Lyndon Nance

I went to school with Mitch and remember playing Little League baseball with him and he could play as good as anyone else. With Mitch it was always full steam ahead and nothing ever got in his way and was as tough as nails. Bless the Mitch Orr Family and may you RIP my friend.
