Thanks to Lonestar for the following additional information:
Orlando attended public school at Geneview, Stonewall county, Texas. He was a law enforcement officer for almost fifteen years and began as a special officer for the Santa Fe Railroad during World War II. He was sent to Clovis, New Mexico and continued with this job until 1950. He then joined the city police force in Clovis, New Mexico. In 1952, he became Chief of Police in San Juan, New Mexico. From San Juan, he went to Carlsbad, New Mexico where he served on the city police force for several years. In Lovington, New Mexico he served as Chief of Police for three years. In 1958 became a police officer in Tatum, New Mexico.
In reviewing his years as a peace officer, his wife Fawn recalled, "He had a fundamental belief in the rightness of law and order. Whatever he did, he gave of his very best and never complained. He was a good law officer."
At the time of his death, he was employed by Oil Transport.
