He graduated from Longmont High School with the Class of ‘57 and also graduated from Waldorf Junior College in Forest City, Iowa.
He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1962 and after basic training and some schooling was sent to Frankfurt, Germany to serve in the Army Security Agency. Orly was honorably discharged at the rank of Staff Sergeant and received a good conduct medal. Orly worked at Kodak Colorado Division from 1972 to 2001, working in a variety of areas from disc film to x-ray film inspection, and retired from there. Orly has always enjoyed music and has sung in many choirs and musical groups. A great joy of his was
singing with a choral group known as “Lutheran Men of Song.” Orly was a faithful Christian and shared his faith freely. He was a soft-spoken, easygoing man who loved people and enjoyed long chats.

He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Christopher Femmenino of Greeley, as well as a granddaughter, Thera Femmenino of Greeley; a step-
