Words cannot express what this man has meant to me. He was my patient friend and mentor as he taught me the art and job of dairy farming. I grew to respect his hard labor and common sense. God bless your soul Orland as you ride that eternal open range.

I will miss you cowboy. Yodel le he hoo!!!!
From Jodi Isaak Atkinson :
I am so sorry for your loss. I fondly remember Orland's laugh, that eggy bread thing he made for breakfast, how often he let us watch him train horses, and how terrified I was when he slowly tipped up the bed of a dump truck with a bunch of us kids in the back for fun. No roller coaster has ever been as thrilling as that.
From Marjorie Jensen :
So sorry for your loss to your family .Prayers to all of you
From Roger Howarth:
