Rest in Peace Brian glad I had the opportunity to work with you at Ruud Lighting always loved to hear you laugh when something tickled you. You will be missed.
My dad was the best! A lot of people say that, but I can safely say it with confidence. He taught me what the meaning of being a family man is. But more than that, he taught me what keeping your vows and promises actually means. No matter what I did or what mistakes I might have gotten myself into, he always was there to listen, help, and encourage in any and every way that he could. I will miss him dearly and will remember the passion that he had for sports, being on a team, and making sure that his family was well taken care of! I will carry on his memory by being the best in the various roles in my life; father, husband, teacher, friend, colleague, believer, and so much more!
Love,
Derek
Brian was such a loving, caring husband to my sister Cathy. He was always there for her. Now they are together again. 💗 💗
My sympathy to the family of Brian Orton. He was my boss at Ruud Lighting for a few years until I retired and he was a great person. Sincerely, Darlene Burchell
Brian was my brother-in-law. I am Cathy's sister Sandy. Brian loved Cathy and I believe they are reunited in that wonderful place we call Heaven. May they both rest in peace till we see them again. My sympathy to their family. Brian and Cathy created a legacy that will live on for many years to come.
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
