"Such a kind and wonderful man. I have so many memories of Uncle Orville when I was growing up, from the amazing fudge he made us kids to the fun fireworks he set off for us over in Elton. He always had a smile and a quick laugh even when we were not exactly being well behaved. I will miss him greatly. To Aunt Carol and the boys, please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, RaVonna"
