Hello! This blog has been created in honor of our Dad, Orv Mortland. Like we say, if you knew this guy, you can just go ahead and consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Orv was a prince among men, plain and simple. If he knew he'd made it to cyberspace, with his own blog, he'd be going all "Fiddledeedee!"
We will be having a celebration of Dad's life on Saturday, June 16, 2007. We will be getting started in the mid afternoon, and more details will be forthcoming. Thanks for checking back soon and for caring about Orv enough to climb online and check us out. I hope to have a bunch of different posts here, maybe some stories, a biography, certainly pictures and a little something we call Mortisisms. Oddball things that dad would say or do, or handy little DIY fixits that he came up with. If you have something you'd like to submit, just leave a comment!
Orv Mortland
This wonderful man was born on December 7, 1928 in Everett, Washington and died peacefully at home on June 8, 2007. Orv lived a full and meaningful life and if you knew him you were lucky beyond measure.

Susie, what a tribute to your dad and to his faithful pet, Fritz. It made me cry to know Fritz's intuitiveness about his master needing him until the end. Your description of Fritz nestling up to Orv's heart at the end was so beautifully put. Thank you for such a precious expression of your days with your dad and family. I am a blessed mom-in-love.
