Norbert Orndorff

Norbert Gregory (Butch) Orndorff Sr, 87, passed away at his home in Manassas, VA. on Sunday July 31, 2022 – Son, Husband, Father, Friend, and Entrepreneur Dad was born on January 10, 1935, in Stephen City, Virginia to parents Leslie Wood and Edythe Ann Gregory Orndorff. Dad did have a brother, Paxton Orndorff ten years his elder who unfortunately was killed during WWII in the Pacific Theater. If asked, Dad would have said that he had a great life. Growing up in Stephen City; the outdoors played a big part in his life. His passion for hiking, camping, fishing, and canoeing lead him to reach the rank of Eagle Scout; the youngest to do so in the country at that time. Full of energy Dad, wanted to get to work as soon as possible but his parents insisted he attend college – the first in his family. When Dad enrolled into VPI he began in the School of Mining Engineering, however during his junior year the coal industry suffered a major collapse, so starting his Senior year Dad switched to the School of Building Construction. Upon graduating Dad moved to Manassas VA and started working for Gregory Construction. Over the next ten years Dad designed and built buildings all over the DMV. Wanting more in life in 1968 Dad started his first company, Master Maintenance Inc. and over the next five decades continued to flex his entrepreneurial spirit. Anybody who knew Dad knows there was only one-way to do something and that was full bore!! Dad came to work everyday with a smile on his face and kind words for everybody. This only stopped when our mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at which time, he insisted on taking care of her. We will miss Dad everyday but knowing he is not suffering anymore and that he is in Heaven with family does give us all some solace. Dad is survived by his wife of 62 years Elizabeth Burton Orndorff, four Children, Gregory Orndorff Jr. (Karen), Paxton Orndorff (Marisol), Shreve Cassarino (Mark) & Linda Ihm (Tom). Pops had ten grandchildren Levi, Delany, Simon, Isabel, Truman, Sol, Mia, Ella, Paxton and Natale. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Pierce Funeral Home.
