James J. Orr, formerly of Endicott, New York residing in Corona, CA suddenly passed away on March 15, 2012 at UC Irvine Medical Center.

Jim was very active upon his retirement after 33 years of service at Untied Parcel Service.   He assisted his son Ryan in organizing community outreach programs/events for “Operation Community Cares”.  Many activities included fundraising, coordinating food drives, assembling/delivering care packages and sponsoring events to benefit our troops/families that serve(d) in Iraq and Afghanistan.  His devotion and steadfast allegiance to “Operation Community Cares” represented his appreciation for freedom and security for all those who serve.

In every sense, Jim Orr was a patriot, an advocate of veterans, an avid golfer and more importantly a devoted husband, father, grandfather and brother.

His sudden passing leaves many at a loss and he will be sorely missed.

Jim Orr is survived by his loving wife Nancy of 41 years; his two son’s and wives, Scott & Cindy, Ryan & Danielle;  Grandchildren: Aidan, Paityn, Riley, Bryce & Graham and his 3 brothers: David, Bob and Allan Orr.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that charitable contributions be made to Operation Community Cares by visiting OperationCommunityCares.org

A memorial service will be held at Hillside Community Church located 5354 Haven Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday March 24th at 1 p.m.  A reception at the Trilogy Lodge will commence following the memorial service located at 24503 Trilogy Parkway, Corona.

  1. Lend a hand with shopping.
  2. Go to the mall with a Mom or Dad or shop for them online.
  3. Gift wrapping or babysitting is a gift in itself.
  4. Help with decorating. Putting up the Christmas tree and other decorations or taking it all down
    Consider a “feel-good” gift…massage, manicure, MNF game or take a military family to a seasonal event.

  5. Lend a hand with the “honey-do” list. Something always falls apart, stops working, or seizes up during a deployment.
  6. Skip the plate of cookies. Gift certificates for pizza or other deliverable foods can be a sanity-saver for a single parent. Share your home and Holidays.
  7. Share a meal with military neighbors and make it a memorable event for both families.
