Bienvenido immigrated to Winnipeg and enjoyed a 30 year career at Bristol Aerospace where he was employed as a Machinist. He was beloved by his co-workers who all became lifelong friends.

The family would like to thank The Grace Hospital for their loving care and support, notably Dr. Joshua, Dr. George, Dr. Zabolotny, ER, ICU and the 3rd Floor Nursing and Care Staff.

He's one of my Godfather in the Philippines and never met him for almost 40 yrs of my life and last 2 yrs ago, I went to Winnipeg and finally met him. As the way, my parents told me, he's a good person with a loving kind heart. May he rest in Peace. - Posted by: FLORIE SUYAT (GOD DAUGHTER) on: Oct 12, 2015
