The Memorial Candle Program has been designed to help offset the costs associated with the hosting this Tribute Website in perpetuity. Through the lighting of a memorial candle, your thoughtful gesture will be recorded in the Book of Memories and the proceeds will go directly towards helping ensure that the family and friends of Richard Orpin can continue to memorialize, re-visit, interact with each other and enhance this tribute for future generations.

Thank you.

Rowing

Mr. O had his "bevy" of ladies that he would take out rowing. I was one of the "new  to rowing" ones and Richard was giving me lessons. Those were some of the best outings - did a bit of beach combing, pulled mussels off the rocks, had choice words about the large group of loud kayakers disturbing our peace and quiet, ect.  Richard would pick out certain trees that he had noticed out on the islands and would tell me all about what made them special. I admit I never became all that good at rowing but we certainly laughed a lot.   Good Memories!
