Dear Ma'am Mellissa, Sirs Rene, Glen and Eric, Good evening. I hope you are okay. My family wishes to extend our sincerest sympathy. I also wish to express my feeling of sadness as your loving Dad passed through this life. But glad that as he joined our Creator, he now rests in peace amidst angels in heaven. ...more

Dad was very well respected in PGH. He was known as extremely strict and in modern vulgar terms: can sense and will not take any shit from you.

He took his craft and his professional responsibi...more

+ Isidro Basa Benitez MD By Rene Benitez (For those of you who might be on video, locked down in Manila or in other parts of the world, this is our compound.
