The family values of self-reliance and hard work, balanced with humor and a general vigor for life were burnished as he matured through his life. His adult life began as a successful dairyman after which he began college training to become a minister. He attended Lakeland College in Sheboygan, WI finishing his masters in divinity at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, MN. His first church was Immanuel United Church of Christ in Lyman, NE where he served from 1963 to 1970. Always looking for ways to improve his work he began studies in pastoral psychology at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, then onto Iliff School of Theology, University of Denver. He then served Smyrna United Church of Christ, Canby, OR where he served from 1973 until his retirement from the ministry in 1992. He gave comfort to many through his years in the ministry. Orville developed his carpentry skills on the farm and while framing houses in Denver, CO while attending Iliff. He continued this work after he moved to Oregon.
