Sincere sympathies to Ken Orr's family. He was great mates with my dad Humphrey Heward who is 95 and still living in his own home. I remember Ken as Charge Nurse of Ward 7 Plastic surgery unit at Burwood Hospital. I was a student nurse on his ward in the early eighties, he taught me a lot and was a great man with a great sense of humour..fond memories. RIP Ken xx

Dear Ken, I know you had your moments like the rest of us but you were always such a lovely man with a wicked sence of humour. The pain and suffering have gone now. Sleep well.

Ken, you will be missed. I am extremely grateful for all your support and caring over the years. You were very concerned about Jan's health last year, yet you were struggling yourself, you were so caring, yet felt so inadequate because you couldn't help her. Jan will be okay. Sleep peacefully my friend. Love Fione
