It is with sorrow and gratitude that we mark the passing of Orval J Weegar, 81, — sorrow at the loss, gratitude for the life.
A life is more than dates on a stone; here is a small portion of his story.
Orval entered this world in 1933 — the start of a journey that would span 82 years.
Orval held deeply to the Lutheran faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Few who serve speak of it freely; those who knew him understood.
