Cesar was born on February 26, 1948, to the late Alejandro N. Cortez and Rosario Capili of Bataan, Philippines. He met Elsa Sioson Guzman during their college years in Manila, Philippines and were married on June 10, 1975 in London, England. They relocated to Kenosha, Wisconsin later that year and settled in San Diego, California in 1981.
Cesar retired as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist after 30+ years of service. He was a longtime music enthusiast and a huge fan of the Beatles and Bee Gees. He enjoyed traveling the world, loved all things “Lacoste,” and made everyone laugh and smile with his witty jokes! He was everyone’s Uncle and we will never forget the countless parties hosted at his house, along with the dancing and karaoke singing.
Cesar is survived by his beautiful wife of 47 years, Elsa, who lovingly cared for him as he bravely faced obstacles from a stroke since 2015. He is also survived by his brothers, sister, countless nieces, nephews, many cherished friends, as well as, his feathered-babies (cockatiels).
A visitation for Cesar will be held Friday, December 30, 2022 from 10:00AM to 8:00PM at Glen Abbey Memorial Park and Mortuary, 3838 Bonita Road, Bonita, CA 91902.
