Bayani San Buenaventura Redondo, age 75, of Livingston, NJ, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, on Sunday, March 22, 2020. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
Known to the world as Loy, he was born and raised in the Philippines; the proud son of Roqueña (+) and Agripino (+), brother of Pom (+), Mike (+), Reddy (+), Effie, Lee, and Ting. Loy immigrated to the United States in his mid-20s, and eventually settled in New Jersey, where he met and married Teresita Cuyegkeng, MD in 1977. The two built a happy home together where they raised four beautiful children.
Fastidious with numbers, Loy worked as an accountant, spending most of his career at the New Jersey Law Journal in Newark, NJ. Though he worked hard, he firmly believed that life was meant to be enjoyed. He pursued a number of hobbies and sports, and over the years, he regularly played basketball, tennis, bowling, poker, and mahjong. Later in life, he became a golf addict, hitting the links nearly every day.
Loy was also a creative soul. He loved to sketch and paint, but music was his true passion. A self-taught guitarist, pianist, and singer, Loy never let an open mic go to waste. He strived to entertain and make others laugh, because ultimately, Loy loved connecting with all people, no matter what walk of life.
He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend until the very end.
Loy is survived by his wife, Teresita (Terry); children, Barbara, Bernadette, Bridget and husband Phi Doan, Brian and wife Anna Concepcion; granddaughters Lea Monica and Mia Josephine; sisters Effie Redondo of Mobile, AL, Lee Pangilinan of Stevensville, MI, Ting Lowe of Semmes, AL; sisters-in-law Nita Redondo of Manila, Philippines, Maxine Redondo of Mobile, AL; and many nieces and nephews.
