I was so saddened to read of Orville's passing… Orville was a childhood friend of my father's, Albert Hoffman. They never lost contact through the years. We have heard of so many fond memories of Dad and Orville! It seems Orville forced my Dad to offer my Mother, Patricia a ride home from work in Fair Oaks. And Orville, Dorothy and my Parents continued their friendship through the years. Over the last few years they would have coffee when Orville was in town. And then both began to slow down as they aged. But I would always try to keep my Dad up on what I had heard about Orville. Orville never forgot where he came from. As he made his legacy he always wanted to bring his old friends along, like my Dad "the farm boy" that never left the farm! What a very nice man you were Orville! Thank you for all my hugs… And most of all, Thank you for being my Dad's best friend! You will be sadly missed, but watch for Mom and Dad at the gates, they will be there soon!….. love, Ginny Reames and the Albert and Patricia Hoffman Families

Orville was a True Southern Gentleman and loved by his many friends. We, The Luttrells got know Orville thru our sister and aunt (Martha L. Dean) who enjoyed being with Orville and his friends by living in Fort Myers, Fl. in the winter( half of the year) and living in Bristol, TN. during the early spring, summer & early fall months. We would visit our sister and aunt in Fort Myers ,FL. usually late Dec. and over New Years. We would visit with Orville and he would always want to invite us to his club at Fiddlesticks for a great meal and fellowship. He and we also enjoy another great seafood eating place the Pawnbrokers. We had the opportunity to meet Don & see the sculptures that Orville had commissioned for the various colleges and it was a wonderful experience for all.We will always remember Orville's smile and friendship!The Luttrells- Merlow, Bob, Robin, Robert, Marlisa & Katherine
