Tito Boy loved singing Karaoke. Whether it was a family gathering or a regular Friday,  night he was on that machine singing his heart out. 
I remember one Christmas Eve, we had our usual large family gathering.  Tito Boy was joined by 2 other tone deaf Uncles to sing a few songs on the poor machine🤣.  It was one of the funniest and heartfelt moments in the history of our epic gatherings. ❤️

My fondest memory of "Tito Boyd" was when we've met together to practice martial arts; we have that in common and often bonded together in it.  He was a Black Belt Kempo practitioner and my brother and I were in Tang Soo Do (a Korean version of Japanese Karate).  I saw him as wise and perceptive.  Returning to that fond memory of mine, when my brother and I sparred one day he identified our animal fighting styles: a Tiger as Garry's (if my memory is correct) and a Monkey for mine.  The latter proved very true in my case.  Outside of that memory, I've found him also to be affectionate and caring whenever we meet.  At his house or at a restaurant he would always give me a warm hug and with his gentle voice asked me how I'm doing.  I always felt welcomed whenever I'm with him.  Finally, I've witnessed his love with every sight.  While I was seldom there as years passed, his love is irrefutably evidenced with him to his wife and his children.  Seeing the interactions between them with every get-together tells me that his love is unconditional.   If you are able to read this, thank you very much for loving me as if I were your son.  I love you very much Tito Boyd, and I hope to see you there in heaven.

My favorite memory of my Uncle, Tito Boy is when I was a little kid and he was showing me and my brother Raymond defensive tactics in the backyard of his house. I liked the things he was teaching us but even more so… Loved the time he wanted to spend with us. I also loved his excitement as he trained us to defend ourselves. He has a caring heart who holds the best interest of others to heart. In our case, our well-being and confidence.

Tito Boy, you are not just my uncle but a second father to me..Thank you for all the guidance and advices you have given me over the years.I will miss the chats we use to have and stories you tell  me about you and my tatay growing up. Now you, tatay,mama,tyang Bebe,and tyang Dely are together in heaven..I love you all.

Will always remember good times visiting your house growing up. Uncle was always hospitable and kind. We had good times during family get togethers and uncle with his Karaoke. His voice, his smile and heart will be missed. We'll see you again Uncle Boy!

                                              

It is with a somber feeling when I heard about your passing. We were stationed together at Naval Station Guam  though I was a Storekeeper while you were a Disbursing Clerk. Those were happy days that time cannot erase, sea stories between drinking and escapades in the island. Like they say old sailors never die they just sail away, only this time you are checking-in to your last and permanent duty station. Sail on Boy Bonifacio, someday we will be shipmates again.

My favorite memory of Uncle that will stay with me is his beaming smile.  Over the past almost 30 years of knowing Uncle, I was always greeted with a happy and sweet smile. Whether he was in the middle of karaoke, going through physical therapy or watching TV, his smile would brighten up your day.  It’s hard knowing you are not here, but your smile and love for your family will always be remembered. 

When I first became a father, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know how to read what my daughter needed, felt I was getting in the way of my wife instead of helping. And then I spent the weekend hanging out with uncle and auntie. 
He always had a smile, he was so positive, never frowning. And he moved in perfect harmony with auntie. If she needed something he was there before she even knew she needed it. 
We talked a lot about fatherhood. 
And just like that, after three days of being in his presence everything clicked. I knew exactly what I needed to do. And whenever there’s any doubts, or stresses; I always go back to what would uncle do. 
He was so inspirational and from June 2002 to today, he’s one of my heroes. I love you uncle. 

Dear Bonifacio Family, 
You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband and father.  I'll aways remember Arsenio as DK1 Bonifacio, a fellow sailor who I looked up to.  I believe we parted ways when he transferred from the USS Robison, DDG-12 to the USS New Jersey way back in time.  He was a man with good values, who always looked out for others.  Please be brave during this time and have faith that you'll meet again in heaven.  
John Hynes, SH2

Can believe Mr. "Boni" sneaked out the backdoor. He always gave me words of encouragement when I had bad days. Gonna miss you Mr. "Boni", but I know you're in Heaven smiling down upon us. Until we meet again RIP my Brother!
