At the request of Mr. Gene Becker, Orville assumed the Vice Presidency in May 2012, and later served under the Presidency of Mr. Richard Schaeffer until his retirement this year. During his tenure, Orville was instrumental in guiding the Foundation in strategic planning, and was unwavering in his support to the Board and Executive Committee activities, especially those of the NCMF Cryptologic and Special Programs Committee.

Orville was friend and mentor to everyone he met, and the Foundation is indebted to him for his outreach and support. He is now looking forward to fishing from his pier at his new family home in Punta Gorda, Florida. Once again, Thank You Orville, you will be missed by all!
