Orville was born July 25, 1926 in Dubuque, the son of James and Ermine (Currant) Yager. He married Kathleen Kay Boland in 1960 at St. Raphael Cathedral.
Orville served his country with the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Airforce during the Korean War, and was grateful for the opportunity to go on the Honor Flight. He was employed at the Dubuque Packing Company for 11 years, and then at Ruan Transport for 20 years, until his retirement. After retirement, Orville worked as a security guard for Mount Carmel Motherhouse. Orville was an avid outdoorsman, and enjoyed hunting, camping, and fishing. He was very mechanically inclined, and especially liked clocks. Orville had a quick wit and great personality. He went on long walks, and greeted everyone he met. Orville has now gone to walk the hills and valleys with his beloved dogs who have gone before him, Bruno and Barron.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Kay, of Dubuque; three sons, Mike (Dawn) Yager of Racine, WI, Tom (Chrissy Mioni) Yager of Chicago, IL, and Tim Yager of Dubuque; three grandchildren, Gabe and Sam Yager, and Katerina Yager; one sister, Myrt (Jim) McDonald of Dubuque; one sister-in-law, Evie Boland of Dubuque; and many nieces and nephews.
