He migrated to the United States (Seattle, WA) at 4 years old in the Summer time of 1982.
While he was in the Philippines as a baby, his favorite breakfast was Taho (sweet soft tofu with boba). He’ll wait for the Taho vendor to pass by every morning with his cup ready. At one time he was chasing the vendor and fell, broke the glass cup and cut his chest, but he was ok.
He was loved by our aunties and uncles and they call him “Celbot”

He was the most generous person.
He stops his car when he sees a homeless person and gives every penny he got. If you are the restaurant server even though the service he got was bad, he will still give you a fat tip, sometimes the tip was more than he pays for his food and he often make a napkin flowers and give that to server. If you are having hard time, he will make a point that you’ll smile after you meet him. He was a jolly person, always smiling.
