Our prayers are with you all at this time. It is sad and there will be a big gap in your family, but you have the absolute comfort knowing he went to Heaven, and that you will see him again.

Visiting Dewayne's parent's house will not be the same. For the past forty-nine years that I have been visiting my in-law's home, Dewayne's dad could typically be found sitting in the recliner in the corner of the living room surrounded by parts catalogs contemplating his next project. Friday, April 9th, Jim went to be with Jesus after having a stroke on March 11th.
My view of heaven has changed a bit. I have always thought that heaven would be perfect, but now I realize that there must be a few things that "just need a little bit of work". Jim was the master tinkerer and could fix anything! He saw potential in what others discarded as junk.
He was a great husband, dad, father-in-law, and Jim-Pa to CJ Aranda. Jim will be missed, but we know that we are only saying "see you later!"

Bro. Orr was always so kind. I have so many good memories through the years. He could fix anything or tell you how to fix it. He will be missed!
