Condolences

I worked at The Marsland building on Erb Street when Mr. Orr was there in the early 1990's. I had next-to-no skills of any kind, but Ken still found work for me to do at the various properties he oversaw. I found Ken to be an incredibly focused and straight-forward thinker. You always knew where you stood with him and he had some interesting stories from his earlier days in construction. I am deeply saddened I didn't get another chance to say hello to this brilliant man one last time.

I will forever be thankful for your guidance and strength of character. Rest in peace, Mr. Orr.
