In April of 1971 I began my Police career at 14 King St as a cadet in the Headquarters office. Orv Schroeder was the Constable that helped start me on a long police career. He was a kind and funny man always having a positive outlook. I will always remember his smile and interesting stories. My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends. Dan Holek
I always remember Orv as a really nice man who always had a smile on his face. If you had a question as a "rookie" Orv was the man to ask and you always got a good and thoughtful answer. He will be missed. Patricia and my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Joe Stock
Our thoughts and prayers are with Stuart and his family at this very difficult time. We will miss Orville's wonderful smile.

Dear Stu, Nancy, Brian, Matt and Lauren our thoughts are with all of you during this very sad time. Orv will be missed by all of us who knew him. He was a true gentleman. The cottage was such a Godsend as it enabled Orv and Irene to be with their family most weekends and all summer long. Memories were constantly being made in the sun and sand of Sunset Cove. We hope those wonderful memories bring each of you some peace now and in the months ahead. We will miss seeing Orv sitting on the bench surveying his kingdom and family enjoying life on the beach.
