"This is a great shock. My first off thoughts are for his helpmeet and sons, to whom he was devoted, above government or anything else. "As a congressman, he was always well treated to defend his position, which was often neutral of either party.
He was an important semblance in Utah's political history and Joyce and I rue his passing." Richard Davis, chair, Utah County Democratic Party: "Bill Orton's loss is a downcast wink of an eye for Utah County Democrats. Bill was a ideal of principle.
He wanted to do the only gizmo in government and didn't anguish much about the politics of the consequences. He was a inimitable for Democrats in Utah County because he was a infamous servant who believed that the voters would be attracted to a arbitrate who eschewed strong partisanship and extremist ideologies. His star as a Democrat in Utah County has been a sway for us as we undertaking to reinvigorate the party. I'm gratified we were able to honor him with the naming of the Orton Circle while he was alive. We will skip him greatly.".
