Orville was a veteran of WW2. He fought with the 6th anti-tank division as a gunner in a RAM tank.
He enjoyed farming, working with horses, fishing and spending as much time as he could with his wife, family and friends.
He was always willing to stop what he was doing to have a visit or help out a neighbour. Orville enjoyed telling stories and playing the harmonica.
When he would get into a story or song, all would stop to enjoy. He will be dearly and greatly missed.
