It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our Founder and CEO, Bill Orko. Bill was 96 years old when we died of a stroke last weekend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Bill Orko founded Orko Power in 1952 at the age of 30. He built his company from the ground up with the goal of turning it into a reliable and revolutionary power company. We believe that he was successful with his goal, and we here at Orko Power plan on continuing to grow his company and safeguard his ideals. Before founding Orko Power, Bill worked as a self-made independent contractor.
After his passing, Bill left Orko Power under the control of his son, Grant Orko. After years of working for his father and learning the trade, Grant has finally been appointed CEO of Orko Power and plans on living up to his fathers name.
Bill’s contributions and ideals to Orko Power will not be forgotten. Join us for a memorial service which will be held May 13th at 0800 in the Eastern Wind Farm.
