Along with numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Orland was born in Harris, SK, but spent most of his adult years working in Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan in construction on heavy machinery, but he loved nothing more than driving his grader. He was a very hard working individual with a mischievous smile. All that knew him enjoyed his company and always described him as a quiet, gentle soul. He will always be loved and missed but is now back with his wife, lovingly nagging at each other as they always did. As per his wishes, Orland was cremated at Wheeler Funeral Home. His ashes will be spread on his most memorable locations. The family held a quiet dinner in memory of Orland sharing many stories and laughter on Wednesday, January 22, 2014.
