ROMEO AGTARAP

NY Presbyterian Columbia Medical Center, New York, NY

Romy was an incredible soul and human being who devoted his life to saving others. He radiated love, kindness, joy and had a spirit of enthusiasm that was hard to match. His smile, his compassion, and his generosity towards loved ones and strangers was what made him special. He was a devoted husband, a respectful son, a generous brother, a loving uncle and a loyal friend. All of them, he loved and touched deeply. Romy died a HERO and will always be remembered as one!
