Maaaring masilayan ng mga fans ng beteranong komedyanteng si Gary Lising ang labi nito sa huling pagkakataon
Batay sa impormasyon, ito’y ayon sa anak ni Lising na si Aaron Gary o “Bugsy” kung saan magsisimula ang public viewing sa Christ the King Parish sa Quezon City bukas.
Hindi pa rin naman nabanggit ang tunay na sanhi ng pagpanaw ni Lising sa edad na 78.
Gayunman, taong 2009 nang na-cardiac arrest ang komedyante at nasundan noong 2012 kung saan kinailangan niyang sumailalim sa ilang beses na angioplasty o ‘yaong operasyon upang maibalik ang daloy ng dugo sa artery..
Una rito, inihayag ng only son na si Bugsy na natagpuan ang wala ng buhay na katawan ng kanyang ama sa kanyang condo unit nitong Mayo 31.
Pinuntahan niya raw ito matapos na hindi sumasagot sa kanyang mga text at tawag.
“I just want to say how proud i am of my father. He left behind something most of us can only hope to achieve, he left behind a great legacy.
I love you papa. I know you are in a place where there is no pain, no suffering. A place where money is not needed to enjoy or to simply survive. A place where you can have unlimited buffets and steaks and never be full. A beautiful place with the Lord. You were my first hero. You were someone i could always count on. Thank you for loving me the way you did. I know deep in my heart how much i meant to you and i hope you also knew how much i loved you. Thank you for accepting and loving my wife and daughter. I know you’ll be looking out for us up there, especially for Bella. From the bottom of my heart, thank you papa… for everything. Until we meet again.
