Orie passed away peacefully at the Civic Hospital in Ottawa on January 11, 2022 at the age of 65. He leaves to mourn his loving wife Diane (nee MacNichol), his brother, Ziggie (Catherine Aglaure), sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces and nephews as well as numerous friends.
Born in Ottawa, he was the son of the late Harry and Irene Malyniwsky.
His whole life was spent in Ottawa along with childhood adventures, with his older brother Ziggie and several friends, at the family cottage in Manotick. Orie was employed as a bartender at Capone’s restaurant for more than twenty years. During those many years customers shared their stories as Orie was the best listener. He will be remembered for his amazing sense of humour, his impressive wealth of trivia knowledge as well as his exceptional photographic memory. Orie will be greatly missed as he had a gift to love, uplift and appreciate all those that had the privilege to know him.
Orie’s favorite saying goes like this “That’s what I do I cook, I drink and I know things”
The celebration of life for Orie will be held at a later date in the spring or summer.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Humane Society or a charity of your choice.

I only worked with Orie for a year or two at Capone's East - but he left an indellible mark on my life with his humour and kindness ... my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Heaven just got one hell of a bartender, and a good man. I hope he likes the band…

Orest was a very important part of my high school life. Lots and lots of time just hanging around being teenagers. He was a very good friend and I will miss him. Diane and family, please accept my deepest condolences.

My deepest condolences Diane.It is not often that we see a love like you and Orie. I am glad I knew him even a little bit. Much love to you and your family
So very sad to hear. Orest helped me through a particularly difficult time in my life during my time at Brookfield. While we lost touch over the years, I will never forget him.
A warmer person you'll never meet.
My sincere sympathies to his family.
Rest easy, big guy.
