Dr. Armando R. Orlina M.D.

Dear Ginny and family,

I just learned of the death of your husband and father. His death leaves a void for you and the medical community. My thoughts are with all of you. May your happy memories overcome your sorrow. Ruth

Dear Orlina Family,
My father, Dr. Rufino Pabico, is an old, dear friend of your family. My father told me of your loss, and I am very sorry to hear of Dr. Orlina's passing. Dr. Orlina had taken care of me when I lived in the Phillipines and was very sick as a baby. I never, as an adult, had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Orlina. But if I had, I would have thanked him for the wonderful medical care and attention he gave me. It is the selfless people such as Dr. Orlina who have helped...

Your have my most sincere wishes that God will help you during this time of sorrow. May you find comfort in knowing to many outside the immediate family he was a GREAT man with a good heart and a love of sharing his knowlege. As he touched each person's life, I am sure he has left a lasting impression. He most surely fulfilled the reason God placed him on this earth. He will be missed.
You are in my prayers as you deal with this great loss.

Dear Ginny and Family: I have only the best memories of Armando and the time we spent studying and learning lots in Chicago-land. I know he wants you to continue to learn all the lessons of the heart! May you know the peace of his presence! cham

I always think of the both of you, and am very sorry for your loss. I wish you strength, love, courage to go on. He had a great mission in life, and fulfilled it.

The blood banking community in Illinois and the nation have lost a great voice. We have all benefited from Dr. Orlina's expertise and practical experience, and thousands of patients are alive because of the transfusions his lab provided and the training he gave to so many in our field. My deepest condolences to the Orlina family.

Our thoughts are with each of you during these difficult days of remembrance. It was a privilege to serve at Michael Reese with Armando for all those very special years. Others will more eloquently characterize Armando's career but none will more sincerely express their admiration for his skills and dedication. We hope the days ahead will bring you peace and healing hearts.
Dr. and Mrs. Arthur A. Billings

Dr. Orlina will be sorely missed. He was a great teacher, mentor, and friend to all of the blood bank community.

Sorry for your loss.
