Reynald Torralba Gatal : In Memoriam

The Gatal clan greeted 2014 on a somber mood. You see, the eldest of the Gatal & Torralba Clan passed away last December 27, 2013.

The rest of the holidays were spent either at the funeral home or in between as everyone did his share in the preparations for the final internment

Papa Rey passed away at 7 pm on December 27 after a stroke last December 23.

He was 79 years old

Hundreds of his friends and those who knew him came to pay their last respects and to join the family as his mortal remains were laid to rest at Dampas Cemetery last Jan 3 at 5 pm

Papa Rey as Reynald Torralba Gatal was fondly called was the eldest of Galicano Gatal & Albina Torralba- Gatal’s five children.
