Dorothy Orr and my daughter Susan send our condolences to Roy Mihld and his family. We never met your brother John, however we often remember the great times we spent with you and your family when we were all younger. I now live with my daughter Susan in Oak Park, Ventura County, as my husband John (you knew well) passed away several years ago. We would love to hear from you. We also talked with Joe Orr (Johns brother) today to let him know we were contacting you. Hope you are well.
