Bugayong Manolo Montemayor April 24,1937- March 7, 2018, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones at Surrey Memorial Hospital after two years of bravely fighting cancer. Manolo was well known for his joyous outlook on life, his laugh, his love of casinos and cruising and his dedication to attending mass on Sundays at St. Matthew's Parish in Surrey.
The only thing he loved more was family, his beloved late wife Minerva (2008), his daughters Michelle (Kevin) Murison, Melanie Dormoriz (Shawn Marchan), and especially the four grandsons he bragged about at every given chance, Andrew, Kyle, Matteo and Macyn. They were the light that gave him strength and kept him going in his final months.
The family would like to thank the staff at Laurel Place and his friends and staff at Seniors Come and Share Society in Newton, for the wonderful care and companionship they gave Manolo.
A wake and celebration of life will be held on Tuesday March 20th from 7-9pm and the funeral mass and entombment will take place on Wednesday March 21st from 10-12pm. Both will take place at Ocean View Funeral Home 4000 Imperial Street, Burnaby BC.
