TRIBUTE TO MY GRANDFATHER

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN

I POST THIS BLOG TO PAY TRIBUTE TO MY GRANDFATHER...

HIS NAME IS ROMAN SAN DIEGO.

HE IS A WAR HERO.

HE IS A VETERAN SOLDIER THAT HAS SURVIVED WORLD WAR 2- THE FALL OF BATAAN, BATAAN DEATH MARCH, AND THE VIETNAM WAR.

HE HAS RECEIVED AWARDS FOR HIS MILITARY SERVICE.
AND GIVEN SEVERAL MEDALS FOR HIS MERITS AS A SOLDIER.


HE IS KNOWN IN OUR PLACE IN BULACAN AS AN HONORABLE PERSON.
HE HAS BEEN A FRIEND OF MANY, AND LOVED BY HIS NEIGHBORS.


HE SERVED AS A LAY MINISTER IN THE LOCAL CHURCH IN BULACAN.

HE IS AN OFFICER OF THE SENIOR CITIZENS GROUP.
ALSO MEMBER OF THE PHILIPPINE VETERANS ASSOCIATION...

HE HAS ESTABLISHED THE FAMILY THROUGH HONEST MEANS,
LIVING WITHIN WHAT HE EARNS AS A SOLDIER.

HE LIVED IN DIGNITY, SERVING HIS FELLOWMEN, AND HELPED MANY PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS.

HE EVEN SACRIFICED MONEY AND FRIENDSHIP JUST TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.
HE REFUSE TO DO EVIL EVEN AT THE POINT OF GAIN.

HE DIED ALREADY...

DURING HIS WAKE, OUR PLACE IN BULACAN HAS BEEN FULL OF PEOPLE.
WHEN HE WAS BROUGHT TO THE CEMETERY, WE ARE TOUCHED BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED HIS FUNERAL.

MANY DO LOVE HIM AND REMEMBER HIM, FOR HE LIVED HIS LIFE WITH LOVE OF FELLOWMEN, AND SHOWED GENUINE CONCERN TOWARDS FELLOWMEN.

I POSTED SOMETHING ABOUT HIM TO REMEMBER HIM BY...

I ONLY HAVE GOOD MEMORIES OF HIM THROUGHOUT LIFE.
HE IS KIND, GENTLE, PATIENT, TOLERANT, RIGHTEOUS, AND INDUSTRIOUS.

HE NEVER HURT ANYONE OF US, NOR DID EVIL TO ANYONE UPON US.
ALL MEMORIES I HAVE ABOUT HIM ARE GOOD.

MAY GOD BE MERCIFUL UPON HIS SOUL, AND BE ACCEPTED TO GOD'S KINGDOM.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
