Celebration of life for John Paulino

Hello all, our father passed away unexpectedly on September 3, 2021 at home due to Covid-19. Our littlest sister found him unresponsive in his room late afternoon. We can't described the pain and lost for words we are going through right now. As for our mother, the pain can be unbearable at times as she herself is in the middle of recovering.

Covid has isolated our family from grieving together as one. We are setting up a GoFundMe account to help with the funeral expenses, sanitization and unexpected cost of living that was left behind. It will always be difficult to come to terms that our dad will no longer be driving up the drive way from a long day of work, playing and running around outside with his grandkids, being the DJ for family events, or being able to go to him for advice. Our father will live forever in our hearts and everyday life. He made sure there would always be a roof over our heads and food on the table for my sisters and mother. He adored our mother like no other. The passion they had for eachother was inseparable. Every moment they had together ended with a kiss or hug.

Everyone knew him as a jack of all trades, a teacher, a kind friend, a helpful uncle, a wonderful brother, a comforting father, passionate worker, and a loving husband.

Any love offerings will be to help our mother bring him home and to keep her at ease and stress-free during this hard time of grieving and recovery. We appreciate all of the kind and caring condolences, letters, food baskets and drop offs and heartwarming prayers.

Our father was and will forever be the foundation for our family. As life continues on, we will share his stories and jokes to others, help all in need and keep the Island pride alive. Dad you will forever be our life long support system from heaven above and we will keep our promise to take care of mom like you'd want us to.

Thank you all once again for your love donations. Please do not hesitate to contact us for funeral arrangements or any questions you might have.
