Josefino "Ping" Dumlao Barrera Passes on: 18 July 2009

Former Shop 67 Leadingman 1 [Foreman 1], Josefino "Ping" Dumlao Barrera passed away this morning [18 July] at 6:00 AM in San Diego, California.

Viewing and other funeral arrangments are not yet known at this time. Tentative dates are this weekend, 25-26 July; according to Ms Lou Atienza.

According to the same email forwarded to us from Ms Atienza:

"Papa [Dave's dad, Mr Salvador Dumlao] got out of the hospital July 17 and was able to visit uncle Peping last night through Alma. I cried for Papa that his daily fishing buddy, carpool, and lunch buddy has gone ahead of him."

The late Mr Ping Barrera's youngest daughter, Joy Barrera-Gacad is a 1977-81 apprentice graduate of Shop 67/61.

According to one former workmate, Mr Mario P Baylon Sr:

"Really very sad news! Mr Josefino "Ping" D. Barrera was a very best friend of long standing!

The "D" is for Dumlao, pamangkin siya ni Mr Salvador Dumlao, dad of Dave Dumlao.

When I first came in to Shop 67 in 1954, he was Leadingman I (Foreman I) and Salvador Dumlao was Quarterman (Foreman II) with Mr. Cipriano Manansala. Chief Quarterman was Mr. Fred White, a Visayan-American.

Ping was a very likeable guy, personally and as a supervisor! One time, my landlady suddenly closed shop and I have no place to go. Pinatuloy niya ako sa bahay niya sa 47-14th Street, East Tapinac; kasama ng kanyang family! That's how nakilala ko sina Edith and Mrs. Barrera. Si Joy kakilala ko ng matagal na sa shop.

Noong nag immigrate siya sa US I lost touch with him. But I consider him one of my best friends -- GOOD BYE AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU, MY FRIEND!"

------------------------

Former Shop 67 and 61 employees offer their sincere condolences and prayers to the family of Mr Josefino "Ping" Dumlao Barrera. May he rest in peace!

------------------------

Special thanks to Dave Dumlao for letting us know of this very sad news.
