In an age when politicians aren’t always public servants and vice versa, we honor the life and career of Wyc Orr, one who filled both roles ably. Orr, a Gainesville attorney and former state representative, died Wednesday at age 67. He was a key local figure in an era when common sense and serving the people meant more than loyalty to a party banner or advocacy to a rigid ideology.
