Prayers to Orville family, He was a sweet, quiet man to get to know & will miss seeing him, at times got small smile from him when I told joke. Melissa



Orville will be missed.  He would help me out in whatever was needed as well as my parents, Gilbert and Agnes Tofsrud, and any neighbors needing help. He was a man that would care for kids while you were gone as well as cook and do housework along with any other outside jobs such as farming and caring for livestock. He was an all-around outstanding farm laborer. P.S. He would also enjoy an occasional cold bottle of "Colorado Kool-Aid" along with his Duke's Tobacco roll your own cigarette.

My sympathy to the survivors of Orville. So many good memories of the Christianson family. Thoughts and prayers to all.  Garry Thompson
