His spirit and legacy continues to live on in his children: Kim Keneth, Roy Richie, Bill Bryan, Khristine, Caitlin and Liam Kyle. They all remember him as a hardworking, kind, gifted, humble, intelligent and loving father. He was blessed with three sisters and three brothers.

We will continue to call his name as he will be deeply missed. We deeply love and cherish Ely and felt very fortunate to have him in our lives. Ely longed to retire in his home country, the Philippines. We will grant his wishes and take him home. Rest in peace our beloved "Boy" and know that you are truly loved until we meet again.
