Renato met his wife, Loreta, in 1986 near the sari-sari store. Renato and Loreta got married in 1990. Renato was a loving husband to Loreta, and they called each other "Darling". They had five children – Jervis Paul, Sheila Mae, Sheryl, Paul John, and Benedict. Renato left his home country and family for
Chicago, Illinois in 1994 to provide a better life for his family. He spent the next nine years working and saving.
