Uncle Dick, your dynamic presence had always uplifted family and friends with your jovial laughs, powerful voice, and funny stories. You were always stylishly dressed, wearing your gold jewelry and all, even when it was just a casual trip to the casino. I remember bringing desserts to your front door on your birthday and you thought I was there to pick you up to go to the casino. So comical! 😂  

I remember your random phone calls, checking up on me and my kids while Shawn was deployed. You also cooked for Mama and to this day she says it’s one of the best Filipino foods she’d had. My kids remember you with affection and fondness. Markus still recalls the time you showed genuine concern for his well-being and chose to accompany him on a walk around our apartment complex with our husky. Micah, too, often thinks back on the times you showed him kindness and provided him with milk and bread for merienda. 

Before we moved here in FL, Shawn and I had the chance to visit you during your time in the hospital, where you shared your longing to one day travel to all the beautiful places back in the Philippines. Well, now, you've embarked on the most incredible journey to the most serene, stunning, and tranquil destination - heaven. You are now in eternal peace. Thank you for all the memories, uncle. You will always be remembered. ♥️

He came to visit us in Texas. I was so thankful because we were able to really spend time and get to know papa more. Papa and I watched the Filipino channel together, drank coffee and sat at the dining room together. I made his coffee every morning, it was 3 spoonful of creamers and 1 spoonful of sugar. He told me about his time in the Philippines, so many interesting stories. This was by far my favorite memories I have with papa. Thank you papa for answering all of my silly questions and sharing your stories with me.

Papa had so much love for his family. He would call us and ask us what we are eating or what we ate. He also taught us how to make lumpia, which we still follow his steps to this day. He gave us tips on how to cook certain foods. Papa had the love and passion for food. I am so grateful for being able to spend time with papa and learn so much from him. I miss you papa and all of your amazing cooking.

This was our youngest son Kai when he was few months old.  Kai and papa had a special bond. When papa visited us in Texas, Kai would always be in papa’s room and they would play cards together. Kai was always checking on papa and wanting to play with papa whenever he was awake.

Papa always loved seeing the grandkids. He would always put them on his lap and showed his love towards them. This was our middle daughter Leina.

I was blessed to join the Calantoc family in 2009. But I met the family in 2006 and papa, from the beginning, treated me like I was his own daughter. I was so grateful for his kindness, care and love. He was a great father in law. Thank you papa from the bottom of my heart for loving me like a real daughter. I love you so much papa.
