He was a beloved son of Earnest Rivers, Jr. and the late Lucille Stallworth Bellamy. Orlando attended the public school of Mt. Vernon, NY and was a graduate of Mt. Vernon High School where he played baseball and football. At an early age, he became interested in the funeral home profession and volunteered around the Lee O. Woods Funeral Home in Mt. Vernon where his brother remembers "finding" him on many occasions. "Big O", as he was affectionately known, was a hard worker who made a way by being a "jack of all trades". He recently enjoyed being a bouncer for local clubs. He had a love for animals; especially Terrier/Pit Bulls and his brush and doo rag was among his favorites as well. Big O wasn't shy and was considered to be a cool, social butterfly who loved the ladies and the New York Jets. Orlando was preceded in death by his mother, Lucille Stallworth Bellamy.
