I am the only child born to Orville's first marriage to Barbara Jean Ridgeway back in 1946. They met in the little town of Leonard, MI. She a farm girl and he worked at the local garage. He was the best looking fellow in town and my mother was tickled that he picked her to be his girl. As a child I can remember going up in his airplane with him and him doing some pretty fancy flying. Enough that I've never set foot in a small plane again! Orville had a quite the since of humor. He held on to many of the old beliefs of his time as a farm boy in Davison and Vasser, Michigan during the great depression years. No matter where in the world he was he always made sure to visit his parents often. He also never turned down any genuine need of any of his three children. He believed strongly that you must work for all the good things on this earth and he did just that and expected everyone else to also. I will miss the sound of his voice and all the tales he would spin to me of the adventures of his life. He had traveled the world, his last trip being taken in his early 70's to the Yangtze River and the Great Wall of China. His hobby was world travel and he and his second wife, Delores, traveled to over a dozen different counties. They even visited with my husband and I while we lived in West Berlin, Germany before the wall came down. He had a life full of adventure.##imported-begin##Linda Kay Sayles Chaney##imported-end##
