My Uncle was one of a kind. He married my Aunt when I was 11 years old. He and my Aunt had a wonderful life together. My Aunt enjoyed when Orland went fishing for a week that meant she could fix easy meals for her and the kids, i.e. hot dogs, etc. My heart goes out to their children and their families. Love you all.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Orland´s passing; I heard this morning from my Aunt Nancy Weakly, my dad Devere Line´s sister, both Orland´s cousins, and we chatted for a long time about our extended family. Steve and I were in boy scouts together, and had stayed in touch in recent years, often connecting so I could get some of my Vermont maple syrup to him!
I attended Orland´s sister Maeann´s funeral in New Hampshire, in 2009, which was held only a couple hours from where I live in Vermont, as my mom and dad could not make it to the service.
I arrived, not knowing anyone, and as the service was about to begin, Orland and Jeanette came walking up the aisle, and Orland happened to glance in my direction, stopped, and said loudly, "What are YOU doing here???"
People laughed, and we all had a good visit at the church.
I had numerous great visits with Orland and Jeannette when I made it to Findlay, I will miss him very much~
My love and support go out to the entire family...
