The life and legacy of a godly man: Josue Boy Hipolito
Josue Bisquera Hipolito, known to family and friends as “Nong Boy,” went home to be with the Lord in the early hours of Monday, July 11, 2023. Nong Boy was born on June 11, 1947, in Lamitan, Basilan, to Igmidio Hipolito, Sr. and Carolina Bisquera Hipolito (both deceased). Nong Boy had six sisters and two brothers.
He was a loving husband to Elic Castillo, a caring father to Japheth and Rachel, and a doting grandfather to Jane and Jack. He was a godly man and a committed churchman, deacon, and choir member. By education he was a civil engineer and a Red Seal mechanic. He worked with FF Cruz and Company (Philippines), Saudi Electric Company as a special vehicle inspector (Dammam), and Standard Aero (Winnipeg/San Antonio). He loved cars and basketball and was a champion at soapbox derby in Lamitan at an early age.
He had a zest for life. Generous in spirit, he was always a helping hand to those in need and loyal to his friends. He touched many lives. Yet, he remained unassuming, a man of few words but with a contagious laugh. He also loved to cook.
We will not forget him, and he will continue to live in our cherished memories. His belief in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord reminds us that more than ever, Boy is alive and is now enjoying a blessed life in the presence of the Lord. As Jesus said, “Because I live, you will live also.” – John 14:19.
His favourite verse says it all: “All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. – Romans 8:28.
Visitation will be on Friday, July 21, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. We will celebrate God’s goodness in his life in a service on Friday, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Interment will be Saturday, July 22, at 10:00 a.m. Both events will be held at Glen Eden Chapel and cemetery.
