Kenneth G. Ortolano

Just found out about Kenneth untimely death. He was a very good person and I can say he never met a stranger and made everyone feel better and gave strength and caring and compassion to everyone who knew him.
We worked at Murphy together and he was a super person. He and I became friends and we cooked and ate many good meals together he was a very special person and he always went the extra mile to make sure things were done properly. I will miss Meatball for sure. He made a marginal...

Kind, friendly, God loving! these represent only a few words to explain this wonderful person I'm proud to call a friend, co worker & classmate at NSU. Rest in peace and keep them smiling in heaven just as you did in life.

A friend

I remember what a friend and competitor Kenny was. I am sorry for his loss. I'm sure he is still making tackles in heaven. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Dear Jacqueline and Patricia, Kenny and I were able to reconnect last fall. We were fortunate to spend time together at Archbishop Shaw, Nicholls and afterwards. I only wish my husband and I had known ahead of time about the induction ceremony because we would have attended. Our love for each other as friends and cousins never failed. Let his light shine to all and to your parents as they are reunited.

May the Lord grant you peace.

Dear family I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your loved one May you find comfort in the hope that you will see your love one again Acts17:31

I met Kenny while we were both in high school. To this day, every time I hear Maggie May by Rod Stewart, I think of him. It was always playing whenever I'd go to the house. We carpooled from Nicholls to Belle Chasse several times; I'd call it the original carpool karaoke. He loved life Big. I'm sorry we lost touch and so sorry we've lost him.

deepest sympathy may you find comfort and peace knowing that our Heavenly Father cares for you in your time of grief. John 14:1 Do not let your heart be troubled have faith in God

Dear Ortolano Family,
I went to school at NSU with Kenny and considered him a friend. He was kind, joyful, and fun-loving. We danced to many a song together at the Retreat. Meatball was a great dancer! I hope and pray that he is in Heaven now dancing with the Lord!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
God bless y'all.
Sincerely,
Mary Hill Charpentier

Until we meet again in God's house. You were everything a dear friend and teammate could ever wish for. RIP my old friend and brother in Christ.
