Daniel Orlinski Obituary
Pembroke, NH - Daniel Kent Orlinski passed away suddenly, Tues. Oct. 10, 2023 at his home in Pembroke after a period of declining health. Born April 14, 1959 in Concord NH, (known by his friends as Dan O) he was the son of the late John and Charlotte (O'Neil) Orlinski of Concord. He was an artist, outdoor enthusiast, loved his family and loved the Lord.
He enjoyed working for the Concord Monitor and Manchester Union leader, delivering newspapers early in the morning and having the remainder of the day to himself. He was a Red Sox fan through and through.
He was an artist, doing abstract acrylic painting and assemblages. He was the featured artist at galleries in Concord, Hopkinton and Bow.
As a young man, Dan loved hiking and mountain climbing and later hatched his plan to hike The Appalachian Trail in 1986. He was in a Lynne Wheldon video production called Five Million Steps and was the featured hiker for the state of Mass. Two years later, he walked across the country, from York, ME to Seaside, OR.
He was especially interested in the NASA space program and was passionate about flight. He purchased a para-plane and attempted two flights in March of 1997 at a small air strip in Deering, NH, which unfortunately resulted in a crash.
He will be fondly remembered and is survived by his brother, Thomas Orlinski of Evanston, WY; sisters, Catherine Orlinski of Laconia and Barbara Watson (Paul) of Newfields, as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and many dear friends and loved ones. He was predeceased by his brother, Jack Orlinski (Nancy) of Endwell, NY and sister Margaret Orlinski of Brunswick, GA.
A memorial service will be held at the Concord SDA Church, 310 Sheep Davis Road (Route 106) in Concord on Sunday, Nov. 5th at 10:00am. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his honor to AMC Cardigan Lodge, 774 Shem Valley Rd, Alexandria, NH 03222.
