My heartfelt condolences and prayers for his children, family, and all of his friends, who I know, share the grief of his passing.
Dear Nicole,
I’m so sorry to hear about Orry’s passing. My heart goes out to you, your family and his children. I remember when your Mom was pregnant with Orry and I was pregnant with Kirsten. I remember their 1st day of school together and their Grad. He was way too young. Orry always had a special place in my heart. May he Rest In Peace.
My sincerest condolences to all Orry’s family and friends. I first met Orry in Texas at Training Division boot camp. He was an instant friend, and a hard worker. I’m truly saddened to learn of his passing.
