My sincerest condolences to the Orrison family. I grew up in Minneola, KS, and Bill's father was our primary physician until the day he passed. I am assuming that Dr. Orrison lived in Minneola as an understudy of Dr. Richardson, but once Dr. Richardson left, Dr. Orrison went to Meade, KS to continue his practice...well, we followed him to Meade and he was such a wonderful man and doctor. I knew that he had a son named Bill around my age, but I never met Bill...he went to school in Meade and I went to school in Minneola, graduating in 1968. I know that Bill must have been just like his father, and the world is a better place because of both of them. I guess I can forgive Bill for going to KU...I graduated from KSU...but in the end, we all love each other, right? I have lived all over the world as did Bill, so I know the joy he found in meeting and living with other cultures, etc. I am now retired and live happily in Frisco, TX. Again, my condolences, but I had to send a note. I received Bill's obituary from my brother in Hutchinson, KS, after he found it published there. Here is my view on life now, as I lost my partner in April...he died in his sleep while we were on vacation in Costa Rica:
