Manoy Gilde as we fondly called him was born and raised in Minglanilla, Cebu, Philippines on November 14, 1940 from parents Felixberto Reroma Alidon and Jovita Adlawan Pardillo.
He graduated Doctor of Medicine from Southwestern University, Cebu City, Philippines. He practiced as a surgeon in the Philippines at Sacred Heart Hospital. He subsequently moved to the USA and enjoyed a fulfilling career as a psychiatrist at the Veterans Hospital until retirement.
He loves to paint, play piano, sing, and dance.
He was his siblings’ “ROCK". He was very kind, humble, and simple person with immense love and care to people. He leaves a legacy of Love, Strength, and Compassion- leaving a void that can never be filled.
We love him so much and his memories will always linger in our hearts forever.
