He married Carmin on May 29th 1959 and they celebrated their 64th anniversary this year. Orlando was an avid Mets fan and enjoyed watching games with his grandchildren.

To Rodriquez Family
Sorry we are not able to be present to pray for the loss of Orlando Sr. He was a great man who has overcome many challenges through life, made difficult choices, and built a beautiful family. I’ve been fortunate to know and spend time with Orlando Jr. We’ve talked about many things but always revert back to family and how proud we are about our parents and kids. Orlando Sr. personality and character shines and will always live through him.
My prayers and love go out to the family, this is a time to grieve but more importantly celebrate and love.
Lots of love and prayers go out to the family!!
Carlos and Debbie Del Pino
