Wilfredo Tabor Cordova

Born on February 9, 1938, in Iloilo City, Philippines, he was the child of Lucera Tabor and Rufino Cordova. Wilfredo spent 30 years as a police officer in the Philippines, and as a casino porter in Las Vegas. Beyond work, he had a passion for cooking. He will be deeply remembered for his homemade linaga/sinigang (Grandpa’s soup) and dinuguan soup dishes, his generosity, his love of playing mahjong with his daughters & grandchildren and his endless love for his family.

He is survived by his 9 children – Socorro Schleiker (Scott), Chiarina Tan (Tjoan), Fatima Lawyer (Lawrence), Christina Xaypanya (Larry), Wilnora Cordova, Pamela Davis (Jonathan), Vanessa Whitley (David), Margaret Vertheen (Noah), and Willie Clint Cordova; Kenneth Tolete (Riugi); his 12 grandchildren – Isabella & Zachary Schleiker, Christopher & Amanda Tan, Lance Lawyer, Dustin (Ada Alfaro), Christian, & Kayla (Jon Sacco) Xaypanya, Collin & Alexis Whitley, and Nathan & Hayden Vertheen; his siblings – Ely, Heide, Gilda, May, and Perla. He was preceded in death by his wife Nora, his father Rufino, his mother Lucera, and his sister Dena.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to Nathan Adelson Hospice in Wilfredo’s memory.
