Orville was a wonderful man that was blessed with a beautiful family. Orville loved his community as much as he loved his family, but he adored his grandchildren. Orville loved hard and worked hard. His dedication to his community was second to none. He retired with the Houma Police Department then went on to become the City Marshal. He was a parishioner of St. Eloi Catholic Church and served in many capacities, 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus, forty-year member of the Fraternal Order of Police and served on many boards throughout the years. Orville will be dearly missed by his family and community. He leaves a legacy behind and is now resting in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
