Thank you to Leslie Bright Wainwright for the news that our classmate Orville EuGENE Muir died on December 4, 2023. One can go to this link (https://www.evansfh.com/obituaries/Orville-Eugene-Muir?obId=30060925) to see a wonderful tribute to him. There are photos and loving messages from friends and family. Two comments that touched me were "My life would not be the same if I had not met and loved this man. A man who gave more then he got, who loved unconditionally and always had a shoulder when needed. My heart breaks. Forever in my heart and soul." and another "He was one of a kind with a wicked sense of humor and always good for a hug and a compliment." We were friends on Facebook, but I don't get out there often, and when I just looked there is no obvious notice of his death. But he was FB friends with Steve Huber, Russ Jaeger, John DeRuiter and Tom Justison, so perhaps some of them realized he had passed away. There are many posts and photos on his FB page if someone wants to reminisce about him. Here is Tom Justison's comment to me, with his permission: " We grew up together at Pitman elementary. He was a great guy. Lots of fun memories over those school years"
I did not know Gene at KHS, but it appears he was another of our classmates who make our KHS65 members look like the outstanding people we know so many were. My guess, he is resting in peace and finding much love.
Good grief, I just went to the 1965 Pioneer link on my blog ~ open it, scroll down to the right alpha letter and click on the name group where MUIR falls, Gene looks in his military photo just like he did in high school!!!
