We love you, Tito BOY!

The following is a comment by Judy (Altovar, on my post "Sing with the angels, Boy). As it is also a fitting tribute to Boy, I thought it should be included as one of the Philkans' Posts.

""Uncle Boy you will be truely missed by all of us who knew you and your family.
He was truely one of a kind, who devoted his time with his faith, music, and
family. Thank you for giving me and my family your love and support. You are in
a better place now where you can sing and play your heart out. We will always be
there for you and your family, as you have been there for us. "May the perpetual
light shine upon you always". Judy""

Sing with the Angels, Boy!

Another Philkan has left to join the angels. Yesterday, we accompanied Esperidion (Dion or Boy) Dizon Garcia, Jr. , to his final resting place .

Boy, as we fondly called him, was one of the moving forces of what is left of the Kanoans here in Los Angeles. Boy and Cita were one of the pioneer Pinoys in Kano and everybody who had been in Kano while the couple were still there can not say he had not been touched by the kindness and generosity of the couple. They simply accommodated anyone who needed it.

Boy had been a family and a community man. He's a devoted husband and father as well as a loyal and faithful friend. He loved art. He sang, played the piano and guitar, painted ...... and oh, I'm sure many, many more. And most of all, he's a man of true faith.

Boy, you will be terribly missed.

May you rest in peace!
