- AULENBACK, Orren Howard
It is with saddened hearts that we, the family, announce the sudden passing of Orren on Monday, June 17, 2019 in the Halifax Infirmary, QEII. Born and raised in Bridgewater, Orren was the youngest child of the late Reid and Beatrice (Wagner) Aulenback. Orren was a teen when he began his career as a hand-fed press operator at the Bridgewater Bulletin, the same place where he first saw the person who would become the love of his life, Gaylan. They married in 1958 and moved to Halifax, where he worked at various print shops around Halifax and Dartmouth. Together, Orren and Gaylan settled in Hantsport to raise their family in 1968. He began working at Acadia University and stood proudly in the University print shop for six years. As a master of his trade, Orren began teaching at Kingstec in 1974, inspiring a younger generation of Heidelburg press operators. Gone are the days of hand-set type and sadly, now we say good-bye. Orren was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His hobbies included teaching eager 16 year olds to drive safely and wood working in his basement workshop. Besides his parents, Orren was predeceased by his wife of 58 years, Gaylan; brother, Willard and sister, Ruth Purnett. Burial will be held at a later date in Park Cemetery, Mahone Bay.
