Rest In Peace, Oscar Ocampo 🤍🙏

RIP Ninong Oscar Ocampo When I woke up early this morning, I read Ninong Oscar's youngest Henry's post" My dad, Oscar San Luis Ocampo , passed away today after 4 years of battling cancer. He was surrounded by family and friends - just the way he wanted. Funeral services will be forthcoming. Thank you everyone for your support, love and comfort. Too many years, too many memories... including him being the primary sponsor at Tess and my church wedding. Here was my quick response to Henry's post: I'm so sorry for the loss of your father, Henry. 😥 I, along with so many Hogan friends, have so many memories with your dad and your family. Of course, he and I shared some basketball memories over the years. Tess and I even rented your old house in Ken Ct. when we first got married. I miss your dad. But his laughter, smiles and warmth live on. My love and prayers to you and your family, especially Tita Norma. 🤍🙏  Tito Oscar, I wish we could've spent a few more moment...

RIP @TinaTurner 🙏🏾 #SimplyTheBest

-
Image
On May 24, 2023, Tina Turner died at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, aged 83, following a long illness, including cancer, strokes, and kidney failure in her final years. Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock; November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023) was an American-born and naturalized Swiss singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, and author. Widely referred to as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll", she rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue before launching a successful career as a solo performer. Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never… pic.twitter.com/qXl2quZz1c — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) May 24, 2023 This is a sad day for music. The Queen of Rock’n’Roll has passed. Tina Turner, we honor you ! Your l...

March 6, 2014. Flew to Chicago with my sister for cousin Edgar Allan Rivera's funeral. Miss ya cuz. Took a selfie to show all the snow. My family left Chicago in 1979. Since 1986, this was home when I was in town. Thank you Tita Lita, Tito Narding, Jun & Allan! View of the neighbors across Karlov St. I moved back to Chicago in April 1989 (I thought for good).

Remembering cousin Edgar Allan Rivera

-

Edgar Allan Rivera was my second cousin on my mom's paternal side, the Reyes side. Allan passed away seven years ago on March 2, 2014 at the tender age of 43.  This past November 16 should've been his 50th birthday.  Time sure flies. Tita Lita and my mom were first cousins.  But Allan, and his kuya Jun, were more like my brothers from another mother. NYOFACE Football, fantasy football, just isn't the same without you Allan.  Thinking of you and Jun.  Please take care of Tess, until we meet again.
