Enrique Orellano Obituary

Orellano Sr., Enrique Age 69, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2015. Dear husband of Luz Maria Orellano; loving father of Enrique Orellano Jr. (Rosaling), Orlando Orellano (Amanda), and Iveliz Maria Orellano (Eric); beloved Abuelo to Orlando Orellano Jr., Amaya Orellano, Aden Ramirez, Jailyn Mendez, Dayanara Castaneda Orellano, and Dalia Orellano; caring uncle to many nieces and nephews. Enrique loved animals and counted several big dogs, chickens, roosters, guinea fowl, birds, and even a squirrel as pets. While he enjoyed communicating with animals more than people, he had a big heart and was always willing to help friends and family in need. He also loved baseball and his native Puerto Rico. Visitation, Sunday, October 25, 2015, 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at Alvarez Funeral Home, 2500 N. Cicero, Chicago, IL. In lieu of flowers, please make donation to Paws Chicago.

I have fond memories of my father teaching me how to play baseball when I was younger. He was always there when I needed help in life. I will forever miss the coolest guy I have ever known.
