In Memory of Slyme

He was my officemate, and we only saw each other once in a blue moon as we work homebase. The first time I met him he was all smiles and always have a joke to tell, he made me feel welcome and as if we've known each other for a long time, that is Slyvester Pinili.

As he was always sporting a smile, I never thought that he was feeling ill, so when I heard he was battling the big C, I was really shocked and worried. It was very encouraging to see how his friends, rallied behind him to support him not only morally but as financially as well. They did all they could, solicit, go to the government for support, held garage sales and ask anyone who knows where to buy the food supplements with discounts. We, his officemates, also was praying for him, visited him and gave financial support as much as we can. Even our bosses helped. We wanted him to make it. Everyone wanted to see him ok. But it was not to be......much to our dismay, Slyme finally had to go.

We were off course saddened by the news, but after a while, we accepted it, knowing he is not in pain anymore.

To Slyme, thanks for the laughter, and the memory. You will forever be remembered.

The first day he was at the funeral parlor, we, his officemates went there to pay our respect.

Flowers started to pour in, thank you Vincent Pinili for posting the pictures.

He was also an avid fan of photography, so in his graduation picture, this was what defines him.
Thank you Song Hye-Kyo for posting these pictures.

This was his favorite cap, Slyme was never without a hat or cap, he always wear one and in a fashionable way too. That was one of his signature looks.

On October 28 they held a small program for him.

On October 29, a mass was held for him.

And his Department Manager gave a speech, in behalf of his Offsourcing family.
One of the best thing we remembered about him is, he was the first one who got the rookie award, as his dedication to his work was unquestionable and he always gave his 101% effort in his job, the US client was always happy with his work. Now our Bosses decided to rename the award as the Slyvester Pinili Award.
