I worked with Orlando for more than 10 years and I have been knowing him for 30 years. I am honored to remember one of the best people I ever met. Orlando left us too soon but his short life made a big impact on everyone who knew him. He was an amazing person and one of the kindest and most genuine guys that i ever worked with. There isn´t anyone I know who didn´t look up to Orlando, he just had that kind spirit. My heartfelt condolences for the loss of a great friend, Rest in Peace Orlando

Orlando and I worked together for years at Aon. Cube by Cube. In fact, when I met him, it was just a couple of years after relocating to Chicago from Spain. Orlando became a life line helping me understand what was happening around me. He was so patience, so thoughtful explaining me the difference between the Spanish and the American culture.
Not only Orlando´s advice helped me to be a better professional... I am a better person because of him.

Gracias mi hermano Cubano. Siempre!
