Orlando my friend. You will be greatly missed. Not a day has gone by since you passed, that I have not thought of you. That Pittsburgh trip in 2007 will always be cherished. We laughed so much that trip. All the Borat lines! Great Success!.etc...You and I trying to put Mike Jean in that dog cage....hahaha...classic! Ever since that trip, we became boys. The times we hung out at Romanos or Hooters after work were great. My sincere condolonces go out to your family during this trying time. You have such a great family, which is really no surprise because you were a great person as well. The way you were is a true testiment to the way you were raised. You will live in my heart forever. I blew up a few pics from our Pittsburgh trip and framed them. They look terrific bro. You will live in my heart and mind forever.

February 9, 2009

Orlando and I were friends all through High School at Arlington. I still wish every day that this was all a crazy dream, but I know its not. They say that time will heal your pain, but I am still hurting dearly over this senseless tragedy. I think about you every day OJ, and how the Pittsburgh trip traditions we began a few years back are no longer. They will never be the same man, no matter what. You were such a great guy and a fantastic friend to Amanda and I. All the boys here in the Burgh' just can't believe it either bro. I want you to know that I will never forget you Orlando. I miss you so much bro. No more Steeler talk, it just chokes me up whenver I think about it. I want you to know also that I will be keeping in touch with your wonderful family. I will make them all STEELER FANS for you!! Even Ray!! I enjoyed the time that we spent together Orlando, thank you for being my friend. I am honored to know that I was your good friend. You will always have a place in my heart bro. God Bless you and your family.

Here is yet another day with out you here. Sometimes it would be a week and we wouldn't talk, but I knew you were always their. I can't grasp the thought of never seeing you again. Never getting that surprise myspace pick me up messege that always made me feel like..."wow, he understands my pain". Your smile, your laugh, your ways, and your heart I can't bare ......that it is gone. You always came to visit me in the hospital, even more than your own brother. Always made sure I had enough movies ect. You always remembered my birthday, and acknowledged me more than anyone in your family. You loved my girls like they were your own. You came to my rescue at 1230 am just 3 weeks ago. And I am just want to now rescue you. I love you as my brother....not my brother in law...I can't even think of you in past tense. I don't want this to be real.....but it is. You are amazing in everyway. There are no words for me to say how much you meant to me, no words to describe how much joy you brought in my dim house, no words to describe how special you are and no words to describe the sickness I feel when I think of that night. I am not going to get all god like on you right now orlando cuz that isn't how you and I were. We were real with eachother. And the simple truth is.....You were a light for me and so many others. And now we are here in darkness.........I miss you.

GOD HAS PUT ANOTHER ANGEL BY HIS SIDE TO WATCH OVER US ALL. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

Lissie Hernandez

January 31, 2009

When I come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little—but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the master’s plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.

Wayne Reid

January 30, 2009

I went to school with orlando, he was a few years younger than me. We became really close friends before I had to move away from Cali.
I havn't stayed in touch as much as i should have. I came out a couple of years ago and he was in Puerto Rico but i got to talk to him for a while. He was so good with my youngest kids, birthdays and all. He would always rent movies and come over to watch them. His smile could cheer anybody up no matter how bad your day was. We would play basketball more than anything but we would play football to and he is a competitor at anything we played or did. Its been 10years or more since i have seen him, but i still remember the last time i seen him was at his parents house to say goodbye to him and his parents. I now have two more children that will never get to meet Orlando. I have so many good memeries of him and all have him smiling, laughing, or cracking a joke. I am glad i had him as a friend he made me a better person in life, and everyone else that knows him knows what im talking about. Missed you before now i feel cheated that i will never get a chance to catch up with you. Love you, your friend always Wayne.

My sincerest condolences to the Jordan family. I too attended the service and I was not suprised to see the amount of people that attended and I know that there were alot more that would have liked to attend. Thats just how Olrando was. His heart has touched many. Although our contact was far and few between, the times we did exchange messages were always great! The world may be missing a great guy, but heaven received an amazing angel. May the Lord comfort you in this trying time. Go Steelers.

It has been many, many years since I have seen you all. It was through the "PR" dances w/Carmen, Willy, and Monique (Garcia) that we spent any time together. Although so much time has gone by you are all in my prayers. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Dennis Flores

January 29, 2009

Although we have known the Jordan family for many years, the miles of distance between homes has limited us in keeping touch. After many years, it was not until a few weeks ago that we saw and spent some time with the Jordan family at a dance. Wow, was I impressed with Orlando following my short conversation with him. I found him witty, charming, intelligent, and successful. But most of all, like everyone else, who can ever forget that big smile of his! Unfortunately, my family was devastated to hear of his passing and to know of his family and friend's suffering. If it can provide any comfort to anyone reading this guest book, I would like to share what you already know in that Orlando was unique and a great man. Keeping in mind that I have had limited contact with Orlando, one only has to have seen what I did when I attended Tuesday's viewing and today's final tribute. First, the amount of people that paid their respect was very large, standing room only with additional people flowing outside. Simply put, the place could not hold so many people. By the way, this was not a small place. It was an incredible sight to see how many people (young and old) were touched by this wonderful friend, brother, cousin, uncle, nephew. The strength of the family: Ray, Mary, Ray Jr., Evelyn, Yvette, Eric, and Ray Jr's wife is beyond reproach. There unconditional love for Orlando and how Orlando lived his life has earned my admiration for them. The love and brother-hood shared between Orlando and his boyhood friends (Jon & Adam) will always be engraved in my mind. The unity and tribute publicly displayed by Orlando's friends was amazing as they dressed in Steelers shirts. The affection shared by Orlando's Wells Fargo family was touching, particularly his black sister, as she called herself, and Special K (Kim). To know that people traveled from New York, Florida, Puerto Rico, Chicago, and outside of Riverside gets my attention that Orlando was larger than life. His family from out of town that traveled to give their support and express their endless love made my heart skip because of their devotion. As I hear the stories flowing about his enjoyment for fishing, watching the Steelers, riding his beach cruiser like Devo, cruising his Monte Carlo with his elbow out, blurting out movie lines, making himself always available for his family and friends, I can take to heart Ray Jr's poem, that Orlando was more than that! I missed out in getting to know Orlando better, but I take comfort in knowing about him through the pictures that were shown and what his friends and family told me. As I drove home from Riverside and reflected about Orlando, I thought over and over 7 words: Orlando, you were a GIANT amongst men! Go Steelers!

Alice Hollenkamp

January 29, 2009

Dear Jordan Family,
Your son, brother, uncle was a great guy with a heart as big as his smile. He touched all that were lucky enough to know him as was evident by the support shown today. I pray that you will be drawn even closer to eachother through this terrible loss and I pray that the Lord will wrap his arms around you and that you will find some comfort knowing that Orlando is with him now.
God bless,

Alice Hollenkamp (WFHM)

Orlando was such a great guy and will greatly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the his family and friends!

I have tried to write something several times now and each time interrupted by tears of both joy and sadness. Orlando wasn't just a friend, he is family. Brother to us all, Uncle Lando to our children and Best friend to my brother. Words really can't describe the place that Orlando held within our hearts. He has been a part of my family for so long I can't remember a time he wasn't there. There are so many memories that I will hold close. Orlando will never be forgotten and will contine to live in our hearts forever. As my youngest has been saying, Mommy you love Uncle Lando - yes I do.

Orlando,

You were one of the best friends anyone could ask for. I will never forget all the good times we had and we had many!! I was lucky enough to know you for 17 years and in that time I never met anyone that had a kind heart like you. You were an amazing person so full of life with a great sense of humor and everyone who knew you will never forget your smile. I will never forget you. My most sincere condolences go out to the Jordan family.

Lucia Vega

January 28, 2009

I know that it must be comforting to you to know how much your, Son, Brother, Friend and Co-worker was loved by so many and that he touched the hearts of all that he came in contact with. Orlando is probably looking down and saying “WOW look at all those people that came to see me and pay their respects”. Yep, he was Special and he will always hold a special part in our hearts. My prayers go out to the Jordan Family and Friends. You will and Are missed by us all. RIP

Having grown up with Orlando from elementary school all the way through graduation from Arlington, I was deeply saddened to hear about his passing. Orlando always brought a smile to everyone's face! He was a great guy and a good friend to everyone who knew him. Having moved out of California many years ago, I got the chance to talk to Orlando on the phone the last time he visited Mike Jean in Pennsylvania. He was, as always, so full of life and extremely excited about his Steelers! His personality was a great testament to his wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Orlando - thanks for the memories.

Orlando was one of the best co-workers you could ask for. He was always so helpful and willing to lend a hand. I remember talking about football with him and how much of a big Steelers fan he was.
He will always be remembered and will be sadly missed.

I worked with Orlando several years ago at Wells Fargo and remember him for his smile and great attitude every day. He will be missed.

There is nothing I can say that anybody who knew you didn't know. I do know you were another brother to my wife and a uncle to my children. All my kids were blessed enough to have you put your arms around them. The family will not be the same without you. We will miss you at every party and holiday for the rest of our lives. My family and I will truly miss you but never forget you in our hearts. That's a promise. We love you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Orlando's family and friends. This was such tragic news to all of us, his Wells Fargo family. He was such a ray of sunshine to all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him. Orlando has many qualities that we will all miss...his smile, his charm, his sense of humor, always a gentleman...just the nicest guy ever! This loss will definately leave a void in our lives here at Wells Fargo and we just pray that God will help to heal the hurt and pain that we all feel of the loss of our dear friend and co-worker! May you rest in peace, Orlando and keep smilin' down upon us with your bright smile!

Jordan Family: Orlando has left a big hole in our Dept here at Wells. We are all in mourning here. But we cannot even come close to what you must be going through. As you can see he was a special person to us all. It was great to know him personally as well. I will never forget the quiet shy little boy that would come with Ray to SuperBowl at our house to be with Chris. He and your family will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Orlando was one of the best people I've had the pleasure of working with and knowing. He was intelligent, funny, a very hard worker and a great personal friend. This tragic and senseless act has left a huge void in the lives of those who knew him. OJ, rest in peace my friend and may God bless your family and all of those whose lives you have touched.

I meet Orlando about 13 years ago through my sister, Crissy. He always had a smile on his face and was a great friend, especially to her, being by her side at one of the toughest times in her life. He will never be forgotten. We will all miss him dearly. Rest in Peace Orlando.

Orlando was a beautiful man with a big heart! When I was going thru one of the hardest times in my life --Orlando helped me thru it. There were times when we would talk for hours. He has a special place in my heart. And he knew that. I loved to see him. I loved talking to him. I loved his voice. I already miss him. My heart goes out to his family. I'm so sorry, your in my prayers.
