Orville was the last of his siblings and joins: Pauline, Bertchel Jr, Donald, Norman, Ronald (Joe), Lillian Mae, John, Carl, William and Jolene. Loving father of Maryann Lynn, Jennifer Ann (Steve), Franklin James & Philip Ian, step daughters Laura and Rachel. Cherished grampa to Robert,Travis, Brandon, Zack, Aislyn, Trinity, & Harmony, Trevor, Ian, Emma, Lucas, Elsie, Logan and Noah. Great “Ampa” to Noel. Longingly reunited with his grandson Robert and son Phil.
Orville shared many years of his life with spouses Jill, Lora and Rose. Along with many many people who crossed Dads path. He was the last of the Lickers family of his parents and siblings and he leaves behind all of his siblings children, nieces and nephews, and all of their children. Dad was extremely proud of them and often expressed the privilege to still be alive and “look” over them.
At Orville’s request, cremation has taken place, and he will rest with his daughter, Lynn at her home. His wishes were to have a “Gathering of Celebration” to reminisce, comfort each other and be reminded of the great love that we carry for one another here in this world, and in the next. Eat food (dad loved food lol), share memories and connect one last time in the honour of our Dad, Orville Franklin Lickers . I know your spirit rest’s easy Dad and we’ll miss you every moment again until our spirits reunite.
On Friday, September 6th (his 76th birthday) we invite family, friends, loved ones to attend the home of his niece Angel @ 1686 Seneca Rd., Six Nations. Please feel welcome to share/bring a dish/dessert. We’ll gather from 4-7 pm., and at 6 pm. we’ll have a few words to share. The immediate family will stay afterwards for one final sunset in dad’s honour. Arrangements by Styres Funeral Home, Ohsweken. www.rhbanderson.com
