Orvin went West to visit his sister and it was while working out there he met Margaret Chartier. They were married May 10, 1967 in Kellogg, Idaho. The couple lived a few years out there and in June of 1969, moved back to Montevideo to raise their family. They were blessed with three children, Will, Chrys and Orvin II.
Orvin worked at Jennie-O until his retirement in 2004. His family was most important and he made it a priority to spend time with his parents and his siblings. Orvin was a quiet man, so when he spoke, his words were genuine and sincere. He loved his wife and missed her very much after her passing in 2013. Orvin was extremely proud of his children and their accomplishments, though not one to talk about it, you could always tell by his beaming smile. He enjoyed fishing and watching All Star wrestling.
