Benjamin Carpio Barretto's Obituary
Benjamin Carpio Barretto was the youngest of eight children born to Jaime and Alicia Barretto on September 15, 1964. Benjie passed away unexpectedly in his home on November 14, 2017. He was a beloved husband to Marie and his two children Benjamin and Alyssa. Benjie grew up in the Philippines, raised by his mother Alicia and older siblings after his father passed away when Benjie was just a child. Benjie graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from De La Salle University in Manila. He migrated to California in the early 1990s where he met and married his wife Marie in 1995. For the past twenty-three years, Benjie worked at Semano Inc. in Hayward as a manufacturing engineer. He was known by family and friends to be very handy and practical, and always working on a project around the house. He was very compassionate towards everyone and taught his children to be kind-hearted and loving. He will be missed by many, especially for his witty jokes and self-sacrificing acts for his family. Benjie is joined with his parents and the good Lord in Heaven, and is watching over all those that he left behind. May he be remembered for all the lives he had touched during his life and rest eternally in peace with the Lord.
