Ruben Dedicatoria Justo
1948-2014
Ruben Dedicatoria Justo, born on January 7, 1948, went with the Lord on January 31, 2014 at the age of 66.
Born in the Philippines, Ruben was the son of Hugo Justo and Inocencia Dedicatoria. He is survived by his devoted wife Trinidad Garrido. He is also survived by Jade Justo, Jonah Alvero, Jalyn Justo, and John J. Justo, as well as seven grandchildren.
Ruben served in the Philippine Navy for approximately twenty years, before retiring as a commander. It was during his service as a young lieutenant that he met his loving wife Trinidad, whom he married and shared his life with for forty-two years. Among other things, his wife Trin will remember Ruben for the great cook he was, and will never forget the days when they would compete against each other to see who made the best meal. Also known as "Ben" by those close to him, he was a man who was fond of the outdoors, and would frequently spend his days hunting, fishing, and gardening. Some might remember Ben for the great, ardent singer he was and will cherish the occasions when they saw him perform. His family knew and appreciated how much Ben loved his home, and how fond he was of such little things as watching the Travel Channel, the Food Network, and Syfy. Everyone who loved him will surely miss his great presence and his tender, loving heart.
Ben's viewing will take place on Sunday, February 9, 2014 from 10 am to 9 pm at Memorial Funeral Chapels. Another viewing will take place on Monday, February 10 from 10 am to 1:30 pm, followed by his Service at St. Joseph's Church at 2 pm. Arrangements were made under the great care and direction of Valdez & Sons Memorial Funeral Chapels.
At this time, we would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support for the Dedicatoria and Justo families, as well as everyone close to Ruben. Ruben will be dearly missed...
