Our deepest sympathy to the Ort family. Bob and I were classmates, and I remember his sense of humor and sly grin. We, too, grew up in the Presbyterian Church and Sunday School. May cherished nemories of happier days sustain you through this sad time.

We extend our deepest sympathy to the Ort family. I have many fond memories growing up in the Presbyterian Church, where we all went to Sunday School, where the elder Mr. Ort was Superintendent of the Sunday School. May God be with you.

We always have a great time when our families get together. We loved Bob's unique sense of humor, deep discussions and the wonderful breakfasts with Taylor ham. We have magnificent memories of trips to the shore with you all and Bob will certainly be missed. He will always live in our hearts and we pray that he is in the arms of the Lord. Love, Stu & Jan
