Tom "Frank T Orr" Orr

Oh, Lord Tom!
What will I do without you? The most brilliant, positive, funny laid-back and never down friend I have ever had in my life!!!
I am grateful for that winter of 1981 that brought me to Ocala and GODSPELL and the NYC road trip to see PIRATES OF PENZANCE that followed, and so, so much more.
"I've seen fire and I've seen rain; I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end; I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend (and you were always there, somehow); But I always thought that I'd see you again."
Bless you, Tom, for enlarging, enlivening and enlightening my life.
And Flights of Angels Sing Thee To Thy Rest.
My love and respect for you always,
Stephen

Tom "Tommy" was my best childhood friend in the Grove in pre-teens and early teens. He then moved to the Gables but we saw each other often. We had such a good time together. I remember our trip to Sanabel Island with him and my parents before the bridge was built. We went shelling all day and got terribly sunburned. Am so sad we could not reconnect but his passing has reinforced to put efforts into your friends and family while our body and souls are on earth.
