BANGOR and HERMON – Orin S. Nason left this world at 10:50pm on December 2, 2013 to go home with the Lord. He was born Jan. 3, 1926 to Harry and Marion (Leonard) Nason.
Orin was a US Army veteran who loved his country and fellow veterans alike. He was a jack of all trades to make sure his family was cared for. The great sense of humor he had will forever be in the hearts of all those who knew him. He was a great father to his 5 stepdaughters whom he raised with great love as his own.
Orin went home with the Lord to join the loved ones gone before him. He leaves behind his 5 stepdaughters and lots of great memories to cherish until the day they will join him. The family wishes to extend special thanks to nurses David Higgins, Aimee Whitty and Casey Brann from the 3rd floor at EMMC for their compassion and great care of Orin in his last 48 hours of life as well as a special thanks to Sue Ross for the 10 years she provided the compassionate care as his home health aide.
