Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Norma, I share your sorrow. For many years, I was privileged to call Orlin friend.
To Orlin II, I was sorry to hear about your dad. It has been a very long time since I saw you and your family, but remember each of you fondly. Your dad was the first lawyer I ever knew, and years later I, too, went to law school. We are thinking about you.
Orlin had a big heart and was a really good person. I will miss our discussions about KU sports and the world in general. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of Orlin’s family.
Orlin has been my friend for a long time. Whenever we were together, he always had something worthwhile and, at the same time, humorous to say. Orlin was consistent as his talent for good conversation never failed. I always had the feeling that he was one to be there and all I had to do was ask. I regret that I will have to miss his service. He will be missed.
Orlin and Norma Jean were great friends of Adam and I at McConnell and I am saddened to hear of his passing. Call me sometime; I don’t get out much but I’d love to visit. God bless. Jeanette Koleczek
Norma, I am so sorry that I did not know about Orlin’s passing. My heart is heavy with sorrow and will keep you close. Love, Joyce
