FRANK ORLANDO OBITUARY
Obituary
Frank Andrew Orlando was the first born to second generation Italian and Irish parents Mary McAuliffe and Andrew Orlando in Murray Hill Cleveland, Ohio, He unconditionally loved them and gave them both delight and many, many gray hairs. He grew up in Willowick, Ohio and attended Eastlake North High School. He loved aggravating his sisters and brother and shaking the world up in general with his passion for music, for travel and having a great time. He was a big-haired rock star, an epic story-teller, a brilliant musician, a mischievous prankster, a die-hard Cleveland Browns fan, a stubborn golfer, a charismatic salesman, a karaoke all-star, and in every room he entered, an overwhelming presence. He was wild and funny and said what he meant.
In the late 80s he switched from the rock and roll life and married the love of his life, Jodi and began belting out our family's favorite rendition of Old MacDonald. He and Jodi raised Allie and Andy to love music as well and both played as well. He won the cancer battle several times but Cancer won the war.
All of his life, the sparkle in his eye and love for the stage never diminished. Those who knew him best know, Franko was a flirt (just ask the nurses), a love of life and a genuine laugh, the relentless jokester, who of COURSE, made his exit on April Fool's day.
He is survived by his wife Jodi, his son Andy, daughter Allie, and all of the McAuliffe and Orlando families.

As of 4/8/23 I have not seen any information on visitation or services scheduled for Frank.
