Tata,
The morning you were called home, we knew so little and we left with so many questions. How could this happen? What did we miss? Why did you have to leave us? These questions are still heavy on our hearts but are accompanied now by all the wonderful, cherished memories we will forever keep and share with the generations to come. Although our hearts broke to lose you, you did not go alone for you took a part of each of us with you. Although you are not physically with us, your love, strength, and wisdom will always be our guide. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you and the family, especially your beautiful wife and your children. I know they love and miss you so deeply. Please keep watch over them. I will forever cherish each phone call I was able to share with you, each time you made sure you told me, Josh and the girls you loved and missed us. How I will now miss those calls. Rest well, Tata. You are now free. Mahal kita!
Love you always and forever,
Joshua, Krystina, Nevaeh, and Aria
Dad, we love you and miss you very much.
We never forget! No matter how long it’s been we do not forget. In the late 70s early 80s during my preteens too young adulthood stage of my life this man and his wonderful wife had been very good to me. They thought me so many things a young man needs to know in life, they fed me, they shared their culture and history with me, we entertained each other so often and and shared laughs together.
I learned they loved me loved me as I learned I loved them. I spent more time in there home aside from my own than anywhere else. Sometimes grate people come into our lives and there influences becomes apart of us, so as an adult I eventually learned what it truly means to have good people in our lives and I understand it’s a blessing. This is when we become Ohana ❤️ When we’re apart of one shaping another’s life for the good.
With a heavy heart my Ohana says goodbye and God Bless to this man that I knew As unko Gil. You lived the life that God intended man to be. A true loving mentor that will carry on throughout generations
I will never forget ❤️🙏
prayers to his wife of many years and children
