Francisco Del Rosario's Obituary
Francisco “Jun” Del Rosario
January 8, 1942 – June 20, 2020
Francisco Del Rosario, 78, of Fremont, CA, known lovingly as “Jun” to his family and friends, passed away on Saturday, June 20th after a long battle with dementia that originated from a previous head injury he suffered many years ago.
Jun was born on January 8th 1942 to Francisco Sr. and Angelina Del Rosario in Malasiqui, Philippines. He is predeceased by his siblings: Delia Lazaro, Natalia Older, Armando Del Rosario, Felicidad Santos, and Julio Del Rosario.
In 1958, he graduated from Agno Valley High School at the age of 16. He worked in a store as a stocking clerk for many years before coming to the United States in 1978. He lived in Daly City/South San Francisco with his siblings for a period of time while working in the warehouse for Zellerbach Paper Company in the shipping/receiving department.
On April 1982, he married the former Vicky Corpus Alejandro in Reno, Tahoe. In 1986 they welcomed a baby girl, Andrea. Jun and his family moved to Fremont in 1989 where he spent the rest of his life. He continued to work as a Warehouse Clerk for XPEDX until his head injury in May of 2001.
Jun was a genuine and kind-hearted person. He was known for his great big smile, his heart of gold, and his sense of humor. In his spare time, he loved to dance, listen to oldies/disco music on his surround sound stereos, work in his garden, plant fruits, sing along loudly to his favorite tunes, go fishing/crabbing, barbecue any day of the week, and eat good food. Among many things, Jun was also a sharp dresser; a great dancer; and a big jokester.
He will be deeply and sadly missed by his wife Vicky, his daughter Andrea, his son-in-law, Alex, his only surviving sibling, Liway Torres, and his granddaughter, Leila Jun
