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.
