[Choir] Fwd: fyi ;suggestion about Bill Orr

[Donia Prince]

Hello!

I received this from Harris today, about Bill Orr.  We are of course not
having rehearsal tonight, but I imagine many of you would appreciate
knowing this so you can mark his passing in your own way.

Hi Donia, Maybe you could forward  this to the choir as I couldn't  get  my
choir -e-mail to work.

Hi Choir, I haven't  seen any word of Bill Orr's  recent death  in UCM
mailings,  but maybe I  missed it . I was called on the phone by Bill's
home caretaker to inform me of his passing. I  was  invited  to a  small,
I  sense  by  invitation only, gathering at Bill's home  tonight at  6  PM
to share memories of Bill ,   I  and sometimes  Fred Abraham  (Bill's
neighbor and a  classmate  friend of mine)  met together  over the years.
Recently most  of our  contacts I initiated by phone.  Bill was always
cogent and  we enjoyed these  phone discussions .

I suggest   choir have a moment of silence at  tonight's practice  and
perhaps  even some memories of Bill after choir. I recall our choir
meeting at  Catherine and Bill's home,  but my friendship and time with
Bill occurred mostly  after  Catherine's death.  I  treasure those times.
By the way today  would  have been  Bill's   95th or  96th BD. He  had had
significant heart issues these  recent years.      Harris
