Memorial Ceremony
for Brother Romeo "Loy" Buzon Mendoza
May 29, 1958-June 21, 2009
The text came from the July 2005 edition of The Ritual and Other Ceremonies of Alpha Phi Omega
The following ceremony is intended to assist a Chapter or Alumni Association in paying tribute to a deceased Brother or Sister (including all types of membership as in the Bylaws). This ceremony is to be used at the Chapter or Alumni Association's discretion and may be altered as necessary. The intent is for the ceremony to remain flexible, so it can be personalized to pay sufficient tribute to the deceased. Grieving nonmembers (family, friends, etc.) may be invited and/or involved in the ceremony so as to help them in their healing process.
Ritual
Preparation: Five candles, one white candle to represent the departed; three blue candles, one for each of the Cardinal Principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service; and one gold candle to represent the spirit of Brotherhood and Sisterhood.
Brother/Sister #1 should hold candle #1 (white). Set the remaining four candles on a table with the three blue candles in front of the gold candle. Option: Note the whole ceremony could be done by one Brother or Sister.
BROTHER/SISTER #1: On May 29, 2009, the birth of Brother Romeo "Loy" Buzon Mendoza in Manila in the Philippines made the world a brighter place. In 1976, Brod Loy's initiation into Alpha Phi Omega of the Philippines at Alpha Chapter, Far Eastern University in Manila, added his warmth and light to the eternal flame of our great Fraternity and Sorority. Brod Loy shared with us his Leadership, made us smile with his Friendship, and made the world a better place in which to make a living and a life by giving unselfishly in Service to others. During this time, he has served the Fraternity and Sorority in many capacities, including:
* Active Member, Alpha Chapter, Far Eastern University, Manila
* Affiliate Member, Alpha Delta Chapter, San Sebastian College, Manila
* Affiliate Member, Gamma Iota Chapter, The Philippine Christian University, Manila

3. * One of 16 Original Members and Charter Member, Alpha Phi Omega (Philippines) Alumni Association of Northern California (APO-NorCal-AA), organized on April 4, 1981, in San Francisco, California
* One of 68 Charter Members, Alpha Phi Omega (Philippines) Alumni Association (APO-CVC-AA), organized on April 1, 2006, in Stockton, California
* Alumni Member, Alpha Phi Omega-Alpha Chapter Alumni International Association (APO-ACAI)
We come here today to mourn the passing and celebrate the life of Brod Loy.

Brod Romeo "Loy" Mendoza, Alpha '76 is one of our chartered member in APO-CVCAA. The last time he attended APO-CVCAA function was during our Joint Inauguration '09 in Fremont. Also, my last communication with him was sometime in February this year telling him about our meeting schedules and activities. Unfortunately on that time he told me that, he's quite busy with his HVAC maintenance business as well as on his home landscaping project. Due to this he humbly asked for consideration for the time being and told me that, he will call as soon as he find time to once again attend our meetings and activities. Brothers and Sisters, let us offer our condolence to his bereaved family. I will try to contact his wife tomorrow and give you all any details I will get.

On Wed 06/24/ :47 a.m., writes: Hi Colleen, thanks for the . We sure are mourning the loss of our Brod and your better half Loy. Just as he started to rejoin our chapter early this year, he once again disappeared in our midst, this time for good in this lifetime. God is in control and we do not have a choice except to accept His wishes. I was his Master Initiator when he joined APO-Alpha Chapter (Far Eastern University) in After that semester, he moved to Alpha Delta (San Sebastian College), but still hang around with us in Alpha Chapter where he finally passed his initiation ritual (formal acceptance as APO Brother in the Alpha Chapter). He once again moved to another college (Philippine Christian University) after that. Over the course of moving in these 3 colleges and universities and his participation in the various alumni associations of APO here, he met a lot of APO brothers and sisters. His most recent participation was when you, your niece, and Brod Loy went to APO Sacramento's camping in Lake Don Pedro, on Saturday, June 6, As his contribution, he even grilled the fish that was being prepared then for our dinner, if you recall. He did not have to do this, but as is customary in our fraternity, service to others is always a cherished objective. I was really surprised and happy to see him when we met last January 2009 at Brod Ben Castro's ACNA President inauguration dinner at the Fremont Hilton! Since then we maintained contact as you probably know. We even met for lunch in Merced one day when he had a business appointment here, about a month ago. I told him about our chapter's plans of celebrating the 60th anniversary of the APO Fraternity in the Philippines on March 2, He told me that he also wanted to go back to join this grand reunion. In this brief period of joining his chapter, he showed the true spirit of an APO Brother willing to volunteer at all costs in serving his fraternity, its members, and the communities that our APO Fraternity serves. We will miss you, Brother Loy. On behalf of the members of APO Alpha Chapter, we are extending our deep condolences and sympathy to Colleen and the children and families of Brod Loy and Colleen.

On Thu 06/25/ :19 a.m., writes: Brod Mel, Your article looks good. I was their Master Initiator when the three (3) batchmates Loy Mendoza, Alex Mendoza (cousin of Loy), and another Brod (Brod Loy mentioned him recently but I cannot recall his name anymore) passed their finals on the 2nd semester of the school year. They inadvertently did not name their batch. Hence, it is only called Batch 1976-B in our roster. Brods Loy Mendoza, along with Brods Alex Mendoza (his batchmate), Dennis Agoncillo (Alpha, Starsky and Hutch 1976-D), the Hernal Brothers Gary, Ival, and ?, and other APO Brods were all childhood friends in their neighborhood of BF Homes Paranaque, before they joined APO in their respective chapters. That is all I can add Brod. May his soul rest in peace with God Almighty. Thanks and regards, Jojo AFW
On Thu 06/25/ :38 a.m., writes: Brod Mel, I spoke with Brod Ramon "Mon" Villa (Alpha, Batch International 1971) and he is attending the memorial ceremony for Brod Loy in Patterson, California. So far he is the only confirmed Alpha Brod who will attend the service. I do not know about other Alpha Brods yet, as most of us are located in Southern CA. There are a few here in Northern CA, but one Brod (Pio Torneros, Alpha, Batch Ocean's ) cannot make it then. I left a message with Brod Bogs Lopez (Alpha, Ten Little Indians 1975) to also relay this service to Brod Philip de los Santos (Alpha, Apat na Gutom 1974-C). I also have not heard from Brod Jun Cahapisan (Alpha affiliate). Sila Brods Jun Ramos at Ranel Juarez are also from the SF Bay Area, but these Brods are missing in action at this time. Brod Mon Villa can participate in giving a eulogy for Brod Loy. FYI, Alpha Brods met in Fremont CA on Thursday night, June 4, Those who were in attendance were Brod Loy, myself, Brod Mon Villa, Brod Pio Torneros, Brod Frelly Bataclan (Wild Cats 1973 and current APO Toronto AA President), and Brod Jun Capulong (Grand ). Thanks for your effort in coordinating this event with our APO Brods and Sis. FYI I cannot make it because my family and I are going home to the Philippines on that day. Some of our APO Sacramento Brods cannot make it as well. However, we will schedule a visit with Colleen one day once I get back on July 19. In LFS, Jojo AFW

Referenced from Mapquest, travel time from Brod Loy's residence will only take 54 minutes. Hence, it will b e OK for everyone to attend both activities as scheduled. BTW and FYI to all, foods and drinks for the meeting will be provided by APO-CVCAA free -- thanks to our Bottle Recycle fund raising drive. At least, everyone are entitled to enjoy our programmed efforts. I will be cooking foods in the morning and leave from home at 1:00PM. Brod Elmer, I will be at your home at 1:20PM after fetching Brod Gordon and from your home we will be picking-up Brod Albert at 1:45PM Pls coordinate with him at dapat ready to go na siya pag-pick-up natin. – Brod Butch Garcia, Alpha Beta '75, President, APO-CVCAA DY2009 – 2010, AFW
