Orb...you are part of many beloved memories...you were there from elementary school up through high school making us laugh everyday. You will be dearly missed....
To Mary and the entire Francis family, your dad was a fixture all during our school years in Poteau. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
