Orville was a lifelong progressive dairy farmer in Blenheim Township where he farmed alongside Ruth and their four boys as Clefthaven Farms. He loved his John Deere tractors, bulldozer, and “pet” deer.
Orv was always a very busy guy. He was involved in many clubs and organizations over his lifetime. The Blenheim Plowing Organization, being a judge for the International Plowing Match and local matches, and the Oxford County Milk Board just to name a few.
Orv enjoyed many sports including hockey, baseball, and curling. In his younger years, he played for the Junior B hockey club, the New Hamburg Canucks.

He also enjoyed watching his beloved Toronto Blue Jays.
Orville and Ruth travelled to many parts of the world for International, Canadian, and World Plowing Matches. One of his favourite things to do when travelling was always stopping for ice cream.
