Efren was the fourth of seven children to Claro and Rosario Bautista. He was born on September 21, 1949 in Tagalag, Valenzuela, Bulacan, Philippines. He was a graduate of Jose P. Laurel High School in Manila, and graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology. On November 15, 1976, he married Eleanor Manalo. They immigrated to the United States in 1983 and settled in Mountain View until early 2001. They had two children: Adrian and Agnes. Efren was a loving and patient husband, a dependable father, and a doting grandfather to Jenna and Mandy. We will cherish all of the memories we have of him, and he will live on fondly in our hearts forever.
