He was a man of many talents, Andres worked as a mechanical engineer, member of several Filipino organizations, and spent countless hours volunteering with the Medical Relief Mission in Detroit and medical missions in the Philippines.

Met Andy the first time on a cold winter day,
Thanksgiving weekend in Detroit MI.
He and Aurora, wife, and Audrey, daughter,
Were welcoming new nurses in the area;
Helping them get settled in the community.
Such a caring couple to new neighbors.
They both treated everyone as family.
I was a visitor, yet treated also as family.
It´s one that stood, as far back as 1980.
He was an engineer, so was I.
We spoke of engineering topics;
He worked at GM, boasted of their quality.
He promoted the great cars they built.
Offering advise, do the best in what you do.
All the while family as a pillar of success!
He was always welcoming;
Offering help from friendship to mentor.
Evident on how Audrey has been and is.
When he was around, a feeling of siblings;
Like we´ve known each other forever.
Lost contact but often thought of;
Specially when visiting MI, close knit friends
He is one of the kindest of people;
As is the family, one to emulate and model;
It´s a rarity these days.
Through the years of fond memories;
Always thought how he, and they are doing.
Wer´e in PA; they relocated from MI to KY.
Memories of friendship, family, kindness;
Unbounded by distance.
I wish he, the family is next door.
Kinship, closeness, good chats to rekindle.
But despite the distance always thought of,
A yearn and miss of a great person,
But more so a loving husband, a great dad.
A trait to be missed of a great life.
It´s 44 years since we met.
The respect, guidance, smiles;
Love of family, friends treated as siblings.
It is remembered and yearned for.
He may be gone;
His legacy remains.
His love and good deeds stay.
He is as I remember him to be.
Rest in peace; Godspeed to Heaven.
