To the Gaffud Family: We just found out that Jing (as we fondly called him) has passed. We are so sorry for your loss and our prayers go with you.
I feel like I lost a brother even when we have lost contact with each other. He and his brother, Jong, were my group mates (Fulgencio, Gaffud, Gaffud) in med school, from Anatomy on to our clinical years. The twins were my big brothers and protectors.
I talked to him last around 1992 when our son was in school at Northwestern but we didn't have a chance to see each other. How I regret that now.
May the Lord grant him eternal rest and peace.
