AURELIO SAN JOSE LAZARO

Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

• I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest condolences to Mang Ureng's wonderful wife and children. I am deeply sorry for not posting my expressions sooner as I had no idea and no earlier knowledge about his passing. What I do know is that the Lazaro family was an awesome family. When I first moved to Canada 40 years ago (February 1981), the very first nice people i met was my next door neighbor. Mang Ureng introduced himself to me. He was very nice and very hardworking. One can tell that he was a very loving husband and father. He always a very warm smile that stuck with you no matter how you were feeling. I always said to myself that I would like to be like him growing up as I didn't really have a male figure to look up to growing up. Yes, I had my grandfather but he was more of a teacher than a fatherly figure. Mang Ureng was always busy fixing his van. He had a blue one and a red one. The blue one he always had time to fix it in his garage no matter how busy he was. That taught me a very valuable lesson in life; no matter how busy you are, always make time for the little things. I don't I ever saw their red van stay in their driveway. They were always leaving. Then one day, I never saw it again. That's when I found out that the family moved to St. Malo. I missed them very much but it was time for me too to move out of my mom's house. I will forever cherish the wonderful memories I had with the family and especially with Mang Ureng. Thank you for letting feel welcome and for letting me express myself. It has been a pleasure and until we meet again one day very soon. - Posted by: Joenel Paraton (Former Neighbor in Winnipeg ) on: Feb 22, 2021

• Dearest Ninong, For as long as I can remember you have always been so generous, caring, and loving to all of your loved ones. Never was there a time where we would cross paths whether it be in the mall, grocery shopping, or getting gas/car wash when I did not see you smiling. You will be truly missed Ninong! Rest now in your paradise :) - Posted by: marissa ramos (Goddaughter) on: Jul 03, 2012

• Tito you were always a fixture in the Lazaro household. Ever since I have know your sons and I would come over to hang out with them, you have been so kind. You have left a wonderful legacy and they (your sons) will have made you so proud. Thank you for being that fair patient father figure not just to them but to all your sons friends. RIP tito. "Battle" (family dog) will surely miss you! and so will all. - Posted by: Melanio Enero () on: Jun 28, 2012

• Tito Ureng is one of the good looking in San Jose clan. I remember him during my younger years, every time we had an occasion in my grandmother's house, he used to be there. He will greet you and always smile at you and will recognize you. I agree that he is really a loving person because when Lolo Busyo (his father) was sick he went home to attend personally his needs until he died. Upon learning that he passed, the first question raised was is his body will be brought back in the Philippines? Of course, the decision will be left to his family. My mother, since elder to Tito Ureng and knew who he was, every night his always in her mind. We will not see him anymore and will miss him. Our prayers will be yours and join our Creator peacefully. - Posted by: Thess San Jose dela Cruz (Uncle) on: Jun 28, 2012

• My sincere condolences on the untimely passing of your beloved Aurelio. My nickname for him was "Smiley", he was a dedicated, hard worker and always a smile. Such a man is never replaced. A special plaque in recognition of his years of service to GWM is being made. - Posted by: Martin Williams (Employer) on: Jun 27, 2012

• It wasn't the same being at your home and you not there sitting in the living room greeting us with your smile. I am glad I had the chance to see you just a few weeks before to be able to talk to you for even just a little while. You will be missed tito. - Posted by: Jasmin Enero () on: Jun 27, 2012
