We Pause to Remember John Orr

Jon — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:26:37 +0000

The phone has been ringing all week with calls from across the country and around the world to let us know that Pettigrew's clients, vendors and friends are remembering John Orr who died March 11, 2009. As the shock subsided a year ago, we got busy doing what John would have wanted us to do...carry on his work at Pettigrew serving the design community.

During the past year Pettigrew has faced some real challenges with a tough Dallas economy and changes in the wholesale furniture and lighting industry at large. But with the creative minds of Pettigrew's team of designers and sales staff combined with the collective talents of our artists and craftsmen, our clients have remained loyal to the selection and quality, which John Orr and Jack Pettigrew built over the past 60 years.

So today we pause to remember John. Our tears have been replaced with fond laughter of his cock-eyed view of the world...his flair for the dramatic...and his uncanny ability to spot the perfect piece hidden in the corner of a dusty workshop in a far-off land. He taught us well with his eye for quality...his love of all things beautiful...and his obsession with making Pettigrew's customers glad they visited our showrooms.

Thank you all for your warm thoughts and constant support during the past year. You are the reason Pettigrew thrives today!
