Raymundo DeLaRosa Rodriguez
Death Date: January 14, 2019

On January 14th, 2019, Raymundo Dela Rosa Rodriguez joined his wife Mercedes Bautista Rodriguez in Heaven. Raymundo, also known as Ray, was born on March 15, 1936 in Siniloan Laguna, Philippines. He is survived by his two sons Ramer of Sacramento and Marlou of Chicago, his beautiful daughter-in-law’s Rose and Jennie, his 5 grandchildren Jolie (18), James (16), Logan (13), Kona (12), O’Neill (4), his sister Bibiana from the Philippines.

Ray grew up in Siniloan, Laguna, Philippines with his parents Pedro Mendoza Rodriguez and Maria Cajano Dela Rosa. He was the 3rd of 5 children. Ray was Baptized as a Roman Catholic and practiced Catholicism regularly. He attended Siniloan Elementary School in Siniloan, Laguna and graduated from Maryknoll Fathers’ High School in Pakil, Laguna. He worked alongside with his elder sisters, Pascuala & Teoderica in the rice field during planting and harvest seasons. He also accompanied his father & younger brother Juanito in planting fruit trees.

He studied haberdashery and later took some units in music and joined the Siniloan band with his clarinet. He and his father were regular members of the band that were hired by neighboring towns during town fiesta celebrations. He pursued his college education at San Sebastian College in Manila. He transferred to FEATI University, in Manila and studied Aeronautical Engineering, but did not graduate due to his lack of credits for the ROTC program due to a hip injury. He got employed by SEACOM and while waiting for a bus ride home, met his love of his life, Mercedes Bautista, who was a high school teacher at Maryknoll Fathers’ High school, Pakil Laguna.

On January 9th, 1965, he married Mercedes Bautista and started a family. They moved to Nigeria, Africa in the 70’s with their 2 children. In Nigeria, he worked as a construction superintendent. One of his most notable projects was working on the housing and government buildings for the new capital of Abuja, Nigeria in the 80’s. After he retired from construction, he moved to the United States with his family and worked various jobs from mattress maker, store owner, and finally Janitorial services for the Monterey Sports Center. Upon retirement, he moved with his wife to Sacramento California to be closer to his son Ramer.

Raymundo shared a passion with his loving wife in gardening and watching basketball. He loved spending time and interacting with his grandchildren. He would teach them the value of hard work by rewarding with a small payment every time they did chores around the house for him. But the most unforgettable trait he possesses is his generosity to family and friends in need. He shared his blessings to his relatives specially to those who have less in life. Ray is extremely thoughtful and always made sure that everybody is on the right track. He gave advises, setting himself as example on how to be frugal and spend money wisely. He sees to it that husband and wife never quarrel on money matters, hence should agree on making investments on income generating projects. He is strict about excessive spending, especially on less important things and prepared saving money for more important future needs. Raymundo Rodriguez would like to be remembered as a hardworking, caring, religious family man that befriended everyone around him.
