Orville was born and raised in Jackson, Michigan where he worked at Diecast Corporation. He lived there until 1976, when he moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee, where he was employed as a postal carrier until his retirement in 1999. He was a deeply devoted family man who raised his children with a love for God and was a lifetime member of the Church of the Nazarene. His hobbies included playing guitar and writing poetry. In his younger days, he was regarded as one of the best fast-pitch softball pitchers in the region, but nothing made him as happy as seeing his children and grandchildren serve the Lord.
