So sad to see Orval go.  He had a wonderful caring supportive presence at St Johns kitchen.     Heavy hearts here trying to process the loss.   Lots of people liked that guy a lot,  or just plain loved him.  You are deeply missed Orval.

Orval was an amazing man with incredible vision.  I have known Orval, through my mother, since I was a very young girl and I always remember his kindness when we visited the salon with my mother.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.


I was saddened to see Orval's obituary in the paper.  Unfortunately I was not able to be with you.
Terry, because his family was so small, was always so grateful & happy that Orval included he & Rochelle in some of their family reunions & gatherings.  Over the years Orval gave Terry some tourtieres at Christmas time which he appreciated & enjoyed so much.
Michelle, Danielle, Lise-Anne & families please except my sympathy on the passing of your father, father-in-law & grandfather,

Our deepest condolences on the passing of Uncle Orval. Wishing you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.   He will be missed.

We are greatly saddened by Orval's sudden passing.  He has been an amazing volunteer,friend and familiar smile at St John's Kitchen for a very long time.
We will miss his steadfast and kind presence at the "dish station" and busing tables in our dinning room.  Orval will be dearly missed by the community he served while volunteering.  He was always willing to step up and do some extra work to keep the day moving along, and he shared many fond stories for his life's work in the hairstyling business.  However, he loved speaking of his family(especially his grandkids) and the many dear friends he made over the years.  
Our sincere condolences to his dear family and friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Although your grief may seem unbearable, know that God wants to comfort you. Pour out your heart to him in prayer and experience the peace that only he can give. Jeremiah 29:11

I have so many memories of my time with Orval as my boss at Capri and my friend and mentor. He offered many so many opportunities that changed my life for ever and I will always be grateful to him for that.
 I offer my sincere condolences to Orvals Family for their loss, I know he will be greatly missed.

Please accept my sincere condolences over the loss of Orval, a man who clearly meant so much to so many.  Orval was my hairdresser for decades, until his retirement.  He was a gentle man and he was a gentleman in the true sense of the word.  Over the years, I learned of his pride for his children, the loss of his dear wife,  how deeply he cared for his children and his grandchildren and what family meant to him.  Orval's interest in me and my family was genuine and  appreciated.  His demeanour in the salon was always one of a professional.  His expectations were high and he modelled what he wanted to see.  He touched many lives and I am happy to say that mine was one of those.
