Dennis Orzo

Dennis Michael Orzo, 78, of New Rochelle, New York passed away in the comfort of his home after a two year long battle with cancer on January 7, 2024.
Dennis was born on December 2, 1945 in the Bronx to Eileen (Backoff) and Patsy Orzo and a large and loving extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. Throughout his life, Dennis enjoyed working with all types of machines. A curious, problem solver by nature, he could be counted on by neighbors, family and friends to fix anything, even things that weren't broken! Dennis began his career at IBM where he made many lifelong friends and continued to work for many years in the telecommunications field, including a brief stint with AT&T, before returning to IBM and then eventually retiring.
A dedicated family man, Dennis is survived by his wife, Joyce whom he married on May 16, 1970; daughters Tracey (Agostino) and Mandy (Angelo), and grandson Angelo Deleonardis; his sisters Cathy Higgins (Tim); Debbie Berni; as well as nieces and nephews.
Dennis had many family pets over the years and his rescue dog Daisy held a special place in his heart. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to Best Friends Animal Society: https://bestfriends.org/new-york-city
