I grew up in Cruzada Church and as fas as I can remember, Tito Mario had been very active in the church’s activities. My parents were so close to him and his wife. So close that my parents even named my other brother after him.
I left the Philippines in July 1966 to join my husband here in the States. I haven’t seen him for a few years, but when I first saw him again here in the U.S. it was as if he hadn’t changed. He looked the same as the last time I saw him so many years before.
Tito Mario had that smiling face all the time that I can’t erase from my mind. He had touched many lives by his good work and hospitality. We will miss you Tito Mario and we know you are smiling there in Heaven.
