I am so lucky to have spent almost 20 years with grandpa, and I will cherish all the memories with him forever. He may be gone, but he will forever live through me and the whole family. I can’t wait to hear his laugh again some day, I love you grandpa.

Grandpa always loved to give us all his skyflakes. He never made me late to school. He drove me to and from school since kindergarten. I really miss him. He always scared us while taking pictures by screaming. I love him.

Since my dad left this physical universe to join the spiritual world, I have been searching for the true meaning and purpose of life with great emphasis on the afterlife. Looking back at my dad’s life gave me the answers I have been searching for. It seems as though my dad was so far beyond his spiritual knowledge and lived his life following the image of God. He didn’t boast, judge, or envy. He accepted everyone for who they were and helped in any way he can. He loved to give all that he had even if he had nothing left. He loved deeply and was very fun to be around. He made people laugh with his jokes and his infectious laughter. He was so genuine and so real that anyone who knew him was drawn to him and loved him. His kindness and selflessness gave him happiness. My dad lived a good life surrounded by love from his family and friends his whole entire life. He had a loving wife who loved him unconditionally. He was very proud watching us, his children, grow up to be good people and watch us fulfill his reason for bringing us to the United States which was to graduate from college and live the American dream. He enjoyed watching and playing with all 8 of his grandchildren whom he saw very often. His love for animals gave him a strong connection with his best bud and dog Joey. He didn’t care about money or material things. He cared about his family and friends and spending quality time with people he loved. He lived a simple yet fulfilling life. He spent his last days with family and on his last day, he helped me celebrate my 37 years of existence. There’s no better way to end his life journey here on earth than having a peaceful death in his sleep at home and being surrounded by his whole family on his death bed. The way he lived his life is the exact true meaning and purpose of our existence here on earth. He already knew exactly what mattered in the end. To live and enjoy every moment, to love deeply, to be kind and make a difference in other people’s lives, to be genuine, to appreciate the little things, and to not be afraid of death. He was not afraid of death because his faith was strong and he believed there is life after death. His life and his legacy will be lived through his children and grandchildren. We will live our lives honoring his. Our lives have changed forever but we are forever grateful for all the time we had with him. Dy, my heart is shattered and I can’t seem to piece it back together. Losing you is unbelievably painful beyond unimaginable thought. We love you and miss you so much. I know you will continue to watch over us like you did when you were here. Thank you for being the best dad and best grandpa. Thank you for this life and for being a big part of it. Keep playing basketball and playing the drums in paradise. Cheers and beers for your 69 years. May your soul rest in eternal peace. This is not goodbye. I will see you on the other side.

I remember at one of Tita Grace’s bdays at a banquet hall he was doing karaoke (or maybe just wanted to sing?) towards the end of the night and he had the entire hall in stitches laughing as he sang to her. I just remember people doubling over and thinking man, he really is the life of the party. I remember wishing I could experience such a closeness as your family has. This loss is such a great one and after time I hope the pain will lessen and memories provide comfort. All my love and good energy to you and those touched by his passing.

My deepest sympathies for your loss. I hope the good memories of uncle Alex get you through these difficult times. You are all in my thoughts.

My condolences, my family’s heart & I will forever be with you & the entire family.
