EFREN TAPANG LINATOC It is with great sadness that the family announces the unexpected passing of Efren Tapang Linatoc on May 15, 2009 in Hawaii at the age of 47. He was born April 6, 1962 in the Philippines and later moved to Canada in July of 1997. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Rosalinda and his children, Maisie (Mark) and Michael, and his siblings Tessie, Violy (Jun), Cely (Ed), Cecy, Lita (Boyet), Mhalloy, Ferdie (Thess) and Cindy (Ariel) and many nephews and nieces as well as countless friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Francisca and Ireneo, brother Junior, brother-in-law Ernie and nephew Eric. He worked for Philippine Airlines for 14 years then worked as a Supervisor for Cormer Group Industry. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion and Couples for Christ. He enjoyed singing, bowling and playing darts but golf has always been his favourite sport. With his kind heart, thoughtful ways and hearty laughter, he will always be remembered as a loving husband and a wonderful father; everyone's favourite uncle and friend. A heartfelt thank you to Gina and Pat from Life's Bridges Hawaii and to Candace from the Australian Consulate in Hawaii for their care and compassion.
