Wow…::Feb 2023 has rolled around….2 whole years. 730 days, 17,520 hours and 1,051,200 minutes….that’s equivalent to a long time since we have had you with us in physical form. I cannot imagine how to calculate eternity…..forever is a really long time.
Boy how much we sure do miss you Orlie!!

To Denise, Cassie and the family, we are praying for you. I remember when Uncle Stanley and Denise were married. Uncle Stanley was the favorite uncle. I was a little jealous that Orlie got to call him Dad. I remember coming over to the house for dinner or holidays, and watching Uncle Stanley with Orlie, he was so proud to be his father, and to have his own family. Denise be encouraged and if you need anything Cassie has my number.

Orlie, a son, my nephew, a friend to all, and a Soldier. I’m truly sorry you had to leave us so soon, but now you are at the Pearly Gates and for sure Saint Peter is there to open the gates to heaven, march proudly with your head held high as you enter the gates to heaven and remember one day we will all meet again. Until then your memory will live on and we will never forget the man who was a son, my nephew, a friend to so many, and a Soldier. Love you and may God Bless you. Your uncle Ben and a fellow Soldier.

Vividly remembering Orlie's first visit at his uncle’s place back in Germany and the “passport issue”. Also remembering Orlie’s big hug when we saw him the last time at his grandmother’s birthday party. Wishing Orlie the most possible peace in heaven. My heart goes out to you, Denise and Cassie, and to the rest of the family.

As children you always seemed so mature and so cool. From St. Clair to the West Side, you always would let me be like your sidekick. I'm gonna miss you like crazy cousin. I trust you will be in good company with the good Lord and be restored, but we are gonna miss you in the physical form as we learn to keep you in our hearts. Cousin Cassie and Auntie Denise, we love y'all and we love Orlie. And just as Jesue is love and it not dead, neither is Orlie for where his spirit is right now he has true liberty.
