A graduate of the the University of Rochester and Purdue University in math and physics,he began his career as senior engineer at the Sylvania Physics Lab in Bayside, Long Island.

He retired in 1987 as Product Manager at Alpha Industries, moving to his adopted home of Maine with the love of his life— his wife of almost 66 years, Evelyn. A craftsman with an insatiable curiosity for invention and sharing, he built intricately detailed model boats for his family, explored his love of classical and jazz music, and from sci-fi to the classics to spy thrillers--a good book got him through many cold Maine winters. His humor and wit bolstered him through his final years. He will be remembered for all of these loving qualities. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his beloved children: Robert Orman (Karen) of Leesburg, Fl; Eva Marie Orman, Brewster,MA; Ruthann Orman, Charleston,SC; and Patricia Loosigian (John) of Gordonsville, VA.
