Orr, Raymond D.
Raymond D. Orr, beloved husband and father, was called home to the Lord on Memorial Day 2011 in Edmond, Okla.

He is survived by daughter, Cheryl of Edmond, Okla.; sons, Kim of Florida and Mark of Colorado; 11 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

His cheerful enthusiasm will be greatly missed.
