Orlando, I am so very heartbroken and saddened that I am only now finding out that you passed. Months later and we lived in same building. It makes me feel like I failed you. You were one of if not the the number 1 kindest most respectful true gentleman that I have ever had the fortune of meeting. I didnt know you "super" sell but enough that we had small conversations everytime we seen each other & I would offer you a ride where we were going sometimes when I would see you in the morning especially if I could tell you were struggling that day. But you still always had a smile and were so grateful just for everything and didnt complain even when you had a right. I had been wondering about you for some time now because i hadnt seen you in a few months and it really hit me hard when i found out why. Thank you for always holding the door for me even when you yourself were struggling and for being so kind. Im sad this world lost a truly good person and your place hear sincerely will be missed very much by me.
