Obituary For Serafin "Gerry" Santos

In the early morning of December 9th 2021, Serafin “Gerry” Santos raced into the arms of his Savior with great joy, and it was while his wife Lydia “Liding” Santos and youngest son Serafin “JhunJhun” Santos Jr. were besides him. He is survived by his wife Lydia of 48 years and his two children, Dr. Noel Santos and wife Dr. Sim and Serafin Santos Jr. and wife Cathie and 7 grandchildren; Carina, Ella, Ellie, Third, JR, Tintin, and Sean.

Gerry was born on July 13, 1943 to Dionisia and Cornelio Santos in Santo Tomas, Lubao, Pampanga where he was born and grew up. He graduated from FEATI University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He loved playing poker with his family, loved watching sports like the Golden State Warriors, LA Lakers, 49ers, and the SF Giants. He loved watching classic western movies. He loved singing, especially his favorite song “My love will see you through.” He was a great provider for over 20 years.

During the early years of his career, although he was far away from his family, he made sure that they were all well provided for. He worked from many different countries like Kuwait, Borneo, Saudi Arabia and many different provinces in the Philippines.

He migrated to the United States with his wife in December 1999 and resided in Union City. He worked at Communication Power Industry (CPI) in Palo Alto until his retirement in 2013.
