Notes - BIVENS ORVILLE B., 85, died Wednesday, July 9th, after suffering a long illness. Orville was in South Miami Hospital receiving treatment when two days prior to his death, the staff surprised Orville and his wife, Lucille, with a 64th anniversary party which he immensely enjoyed. Orville, a Missouri native, was born into a pioneering aviation family that enjoyed putting on local air shows and teaching future pilots how to fly. Captain Bivens began his professional career with Pan American Airways in the days of amphibious flight and ended his 40 year career with Eastern Air Lines piloting jets. Two years ago, O.B. was proud to be selected for the F.A.I. Aviation Hall of Fame Award by his peers. His interests included amateur radio which he expanded to include building radio stations for the blind, air rescues, and writing for aviation publications. O.B. is survived by his wife, Lucille; daughter, Linda and husband, Richard Siegmeister; son, William and wife, Roseanne; five grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. Services will be Monday, July 14th at 2 p.m. at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 11295 SW 57th Avenue. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to either Christ the King Lutheran Church, 11295 SW 57th Avenue, Miami, FL 33156 or Retired Eastern Pilots Association - EPRF, 3404 American Drive, Villa 1305, Largo Vista, TX 78645.
