Deepest sympathies to the Rainey family during this difficult time.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Orlando. I had the pleasure of speaking with him just last October for his birthday. Orlando was not only a friend but also a respected and beloved professional colleague known worldwide for his dedication to ensuring the safety of Reactor technology in DuPont/Axalta.
His passion for his work was evident, and his tireless efforts did not go unnoticed.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Orlando was a devoted family man and a talented classical musician, sharing his gift with audiences in the Northeast and the Shenandoah Valley.
His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and him.
With heartfelt condolences,
Demetrius and Jean Turner

When I think of Orlando first of all his unique sense of humor, his great taste for music, his deep knowledge about Reactor Safety and his professionalism come into my mind. He was one of my trainers in the area of Reactor Safety, when I started there in 2003 and a „solid rock“ in the core team, which later I had the pleasure to lead for more than ten years. I am thankful for the many years we were able to work together and will always remember him, thinking of Reactor Safety.
My deepest sympathy for Orlando´s family and his loved ones. May he rest in peace.
