He was preceded in death by his eldest daughter, Annabel, who passed away in 2017.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Juliet, and his 4 children, Rodney, Ann Marie, Leah, and Ricky.
During his life in the Philippines, he engaged in the rice business. As a rice businessman, he sold rice wholesale, supplying grocery stores all over the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines. He only stopped his rice business when he moved to America in 2002 to be with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
He was a quiet person, whose greatest joy was recreation, dining out, and traveling with his family.
He was the very happy grandfather of 10 grandchildren: Charlie, Mark, Bea, Patrick, Jed, Andre, Royce, Cian, Cody, and Enrika.
He enjoyed accompanying his grandchildren to their school events and watching them in all their activities including school performances or sports. He loved them all so much, loved seeing all of their accomplishments, and was very proud of them.
He was a man of deep faith, and went to church everyday. He was part of church groups like Jesus N’ Java group and True Vine Praying Ministry.
On June 23, 2020, he passed on peacefully to be with our Lord, Jesus Christ. He will be very missed by the family and loved ones he left behind, but we look forward to being in communion with him again one day in the presence of the Lord.
