Kathy Southmayd wrote a sympathy message

“I remember your dad as the youth director from the church. He never tried to use his authority against you, instead, persuading with his warmth, friendliness that came through in his smiles and laugh. “The true measure of a man is in how many lives he touched”. Orville was a good human. I’m glad he touched my life. Deepest condolences to all of the family.”

Brent & Carol Bowyer wrote a sympathy message

“I remember Orville Gleason as a Sunday School teacher from almost 60 years ago. He was good-humoured, dedicated and energetic in trying to get us sometimes apathetic students in a (first) mixed boy/girl class involved in discussions. Mostly what I remember is that you could tell he really cared about each one of us.””
