You never stop loving your loved ones. You just learn to live without them.  There are no words to express how much John meant to me as a father figure and mentor. He is missed daily and every day. He was that special person. Rest peacefully in heaven.

Auntie and family, with our greatest sympathy for the loss of uncle.  He will be greatly missed.  Miss you uncle.  Rest in peace.

A great patriot, War Wounded Combat Veteran of the Vietnam War, Family man and friend of many in the Fort Hood Community. We will miss you Manny, Rest Easy Patriot. From all your Brothers and Sisters in the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Central Texas Chapter 1876 and Auxiliary Unit 1876.

The family of Lourdes and Francisco Ramos send our condolences to the Manubusan family at this time of mourning. Uncle John always brought a smile to our house when he visited us. He was an outstanding member of the Catholic Church and served proudly as the head of our local Knights of Columbus as well. In fact, you were my sponsor when I first joined that organization. I will never forget how you were there for my mother and our family  after my father passed. You are a true Chamorro in every sense of the word Uncle. You will be missed and loved always!
