Robert Dean Orr

Robert Dean Orr, of Hamilton, MO, died on April 19, 2016, at age 82, after battling cancer for several months. He was born on June 30, 1933, in Kidder.

Dean was a lifelong resident of the Hamilton area, having graduated from Hamilton High School, where he met and married Donna Kipp. He worked at various occupations including many years as owner/operator of a mobile feed mill, additional years as a truck driver for mining companies, and in later years, as Caldwell County Assessor. Dean and his wife, Donna, were active members of the Church of the Nazarene in Kingston and loyal followers of Hamilton High School sports teams.

Dean will be lovingly remembered by his family as a warm and caring husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, who created a happy home and embraced the simple things in life and taught everyday lessons of farm life and rural ways. Whether it’s farming, fishing, his garden, his bird feeders, or making cider from his apple trees, we will each hold a forever memory of him and will cherish the stamp that he’s left on us.

Dean was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Sophia Gooding Orr, and brothers Kenneth, Lindy and Paul, and sisters, Rita and Doris.

He is survived by his wife, Donna Orr, of the home; son, Mark Orr (Teresa) of Littleton, CO; daughter, Diana Morgan (Mike) of Westminster, CO; and son, Brad Orr (Ellen) of Fenton; as well as six grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and sister Lois Foster of Weaubleau.
