RIP †††Reggie Abustan††† of Atkins Metro Infra
It was quite surprising to get a call today that one of Atkins office mate has passed away on Christmas Day. He actually passed away this morning but was on coma since he had an aneurysm on Christmas Morning.
At first I didn’t believe it. A few days ago Renato Ramos just called me up to say that there will be a get together for Atkins Infra people here in Manila and will call me back for updates. So when he called today about Coach Reggie, I was shocked.
We were not close friends but he was indeed a good teacher. I met him through RR when I was included in the Atkins Bowling Team for Sharjah Bowling Tourney a few months ago. He was very patient with me and he was great in teaching me every friday. The whole team was. Tita Marinelle was great too.
I went to the wake just this evening and when I saw Tita Marinelle…i didn’t know what to say. It’s been a long time since I visited a wake where i knew the person. I was really nervous, shaking and sad when i got near the coffin…I still imagined him as that lively person i met in Dubai.
I was in the mall today before visiting the wake…i was looking for a present for my nephew when i stopped abruptly while looking at toys as i came across a bowling pin key chain. I bought it and placed it later on top of Coach’s coffin.
May God Bless you Coach Reggie. Thank you.
