Bobby Orr Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sweet-Olsen Family Mortuary on Mar. 18, 2026.
Bobby R. Orr, 86, of Orland, CA, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2026, at his home. He was born on January 20, 1940, in Mishawaka, IN, to Thomas and Dorothy Orr.

Bob worked for 27 years as a Technical Illustrator at Lockheed before retiring. He was known for being the company's last manual draftsman before computers and for his dedication to his work.

In his free time, Bob enjoyed gardening, photography, and watching NASCAR. He took pride in his garden, loved capturing moments with his camera, and rarely missed a race.

He is survived by his wife, Raye Nell (Hibdon) Orr, of Orland, his children, Jeff (Anita) of Prineville, OR, and Tom of Macon, GA, nine grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Sharon Orr.

A funeral will be held on Saturday, March 21, at 11:00 AM at Sweet-Olsen Family Mortuary in Orland. A reception will follow at The Hive.
