On Sunday around 8:00 a.m. Manila time, Dr. Saturnino Ador Dionisio I,
my mother’s father and my last remaining grandparent, passed away.
I admired him for his cleverness and his tech-savvy, a trait that runs
strong in the Ador Dionisio family. During the brutal Japanese
occupation of the Philippines during World War II, the Japanese army
were in the habit of confiscating Filipinos’ automobiles for their own
use. Granddad took his car apart and hid its component pieces all over
his property. When the war was over, he reassembled it and was one of
the few civilians with a car in 1945.
His
request was to be cremated and to have his ashes flown to Toronto,
where they will be laid to rest beside my grandmother’s.
R.I.P. Granddad.
