Dearest Carmela,

Garth and I are so saddened to hear about Orlando's passing.

You are lovingly in our thoughts and prayers.

Garth and Patti Marrale (nee Armbrust)

I remember talking to him while working at his employment and had a great conversation in Italian. We talked for 1/2 an hour. Most enjoyable person is what he was. God Bless you. Ci rivediamo in nostro cielo fratello.

Carmela, I am so sorry for your loss. I just got the news and my heart goes out to you.

John Iuliani and Rascals Staff

I am happy to have met a beautiful person like Orlando. The memory of him will always be alive.

Dear Carmela & Family,

We are sad to have recently heard about Orlando’s passing. We are broken-hearted & so sad that we missed his services.

Our most profound condolences to you, your sons and extended family for the loss of such a wonderful man. It was a pleasure each time we saw him and loved our chats with him. Rest In Peace caro Orlando.❤️

Bruno, Maria Reginato and Family

I knew Orlando working with the city and I was always happy to bump in to him, where I was greeted with that huge smile of his. When his retirement announcement came out, I sent him a note saying that I would miss him and I wanted to let him know that the first thing out of anyone's mouth when his name was mentioned was "Great guy!" I can't think of any better way to be thought of. Yes, I agree, Orlando is a Great guy, but I couldn't think of a better person to be by his side than Carmela. Please accept my families condolences.

Carmela sweet soul Trust me he misses you more you’re so kind I’m sorry I didn’t attend, I’m almost @ that cemetery 3 times a week to be honest, I was their in Spirit I promise, I hope your heart is filled with your memories to keep you going, alcohol is good too or Maria’s Hot Yoga is Magic!xoxo Blessings Family xoxoxo with peace in your spirits ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

It is with great sadness that I learned of Orlando’s illness and passing today. I worked with Orlando at Calgary Transit, and enjoyed our many conversations, his bright smile, and kind ways. He was so proud of his family, and we enjoyed many conversations about his beloved Italy. To his wife and family, I extend my sincere condolences. Orlando was a lovely man.

My dear Carm, even though I didn’t know Orlando well he was always gracious, polite, and ever the gentleman when he came through my checkout. He always had a smile and everyone would nudge each other and said “ That’s Orlando, Carmela’s husband!” Gary and I send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. With love, Cindy Samczyk

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your entire family. May God give you peace at this time of hurt. May the care and the love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. You and your family are in my prayers. I know Orlando is at peace now. Sending you hugs.

My sincere condolences to Carmela and the Russo family. Although I didn’t know Orlando well from our days at Calgary Transit, whenever we would see each other, he would always greet me with a warm and friendly smile. Our conversations were often brief but it was always great to see Orlando. I am really saddened by his passing and that he did not get to enjoy more retirement years with his beloved family.

My dear Carmela, Fiorenzo and Nick, I am so very sorry to hear this unfortunate news. I am thinking of you and hope to see you one day soon. Wishing you all some peace and comfort, as much as you can find along the way, through this difficult journey. Heaven now has one more amazing, kind and gentle soul!

So very sad to hear of Orlando's passing. What a fine man he was, a true gentleman in every sense. We knew him as a dear friend and could only admire his wonderful optimism and of course the unabashed affection for family always on display. Especially towards his boys and his wife Carmella, the love of his life.

We'll remember his warmth, great sense of humour and infectious laugh. Orlando will be missed by all those who knew him.

Our deepest condolences to the Russo families at this difficult time.
