He was a tremendously well liked and admired co-worker. He will be missed by coworkers and customers alike. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Orth family and his Jewel family and friends who are also feeling a great loss.
Horrible loss, worked with him at Jewel, he will be missed. So friendly and full of life. Condolences to his friends and family 🙁
My deepest condolences to Bob’s family and friends. Worked with him years ago and he was truely a treasure. May he rest in peace .
My cousin Bob was such a nice guy to his younger cousin from Oregon. He was my cool cousin, along with Chris, who came to all the gatherings that Aunt Lynn would have as welcoming parties for our visits from Oregon in the 70’s & 80’s. It was always fun when Bob was around. My parents, Dan & Gail, were embraced by Bob & Pat & their kids on their many visits over the years. They all shared their lives & joys with my parents who carried those stories back to Oregon so I could continue to be a part of the great Orth family. My heart goes out to Pat, Rob & Kristina and to your extended family.
Bob was an amazing man! All customers loved him!❤️Bob would help anyone and everyone. Bob will be missed. ❤️
I had the privilege of working with Bob for many years in C-side. RIP BobO!
