We've lost another of our great legendary drivers... I watched this guy race for many years....
ORR, CYRIL PHILLIP "PHIL", age 84, went to be with the Lord, April 23, 2011. Born in Maitland, FL, September 30, 1926, he was a caring and generous man with a big heart, helping anyone in need, never asking for anything in return. He lived by the Golden Rule, taught to him by his beloved Grandfather - "treat others like you want to be treated". He was a man of integrity, well known in his hometown of Apopka as The Land Man for his career in real estate at Phil Orr Realty. Beyond this profession, Phil played football and graduated from Winter Park High School, served in the U.S. Navy and saw a successful career as a salesman, working at Heintzelman Ford and starting his own business in Maitland, and then owning Florida Gator Motors in Apopka. For fun, Phil loved watching NASCAR and his Florida Gators. and he loved to dance. He was a long time Gator booster, a professional boxer at one time, and was a legend on the racetrack himself. Phil drove the old Beach-Road course in Daytona Beach as one of the legendary NASCAR drivers and then raced at many local tracks well into his 70s. He is survived by his loving wife, family and many friends. A viewing and visitation will be held Thursday, April 28, 5-9 PM at the Loomis Family Funeral Home Chapel.
