Ardin Bernardino Manalo was born on February 14th 1957 in Cardona-Rizal, Philippines to his beloved Arcadio and Helen. They lived together in Pasig, Manila Philippines with his sisters Marijane, Jocelyn and Arlene. He graduated with his Dental Medical Doctorate from The University of the East and continued his education at New York University and began practicing Dentistry in New York. He married Regina and had two sons Adrian and Andrew and they moved to Florida where he began his Dental practice and life's work of service to his community both here and back home in the Philippines alongside his schoolmates in the UE Dental Health team. In his leisure time he loved to sing and dance and fishing and working on projects with his two sons. He was the ultimate handyman and wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty MacGyvering through any task big or small.
To his massive family he was the Captain that steadied and navigated them through calm and stormy waters. To his friends he was the dependable companion always available and happy to lend a helping hand. To his office crew he was like the father, and brother that they never had. To his patients he was the generous friend who never said no to a person in need.
In the early morning hours of April 19th he passed on as he snored in his sleep. In his final moments he wasn't in pain and was comforted and surrounded by loved ones. He was calm and comfortable and as a devout man of faith moved forward with God beside him and is finally at rest. He was and forever will be an amazing man, brother, uncle, father, friend and grandfather and we will never forget him.
He is survived by his beloved sons, sisters, brothers in-law, nephews, niece, grandson Leon and grandniece Phoebe.
