Gapultos is my dads family name. My dad has got 5 siblings: 1 sister named Mes- Elyza and 4 other brothers called: Ronald, Edgar, Val and Junior, my dad has got other siblings but they are unknown. My dad's parents are called Naty (pronounced as Nah-teh) and Nicolas.
Story of my grandparents: Naty and Nicolas>
Naty (my grandmother) was a beautician in Manila, Philippines. She was very beautiful and kind. She had a boyfriend before my grandfather (Nicolas) but he got married to some other girl, this made her sad. Nicolas (my grandfather) was a U.S military guy. My grandfather came to Hawaii when he was aged 29, he was very rich. During his stay in Hawaii, he had a family (not my dads family, but a different family), this family is still unknown until today. After a couple of years he came back to the Philippines, he then met my grandmother and fell in love with her, they then got married and had children. When my grandfather got retired he went back to Hawaii and continued to work in a sugar and pineapple plantation. My grandfather died at the age of 95 years.
My dad and his siblings: Reynante (my dad), Val, Junior, Edgar, Ronald, and Mes-Elyza.
My dad is the second oldest out of all his siblings. He loved to play basketball all day and pool with his friends, he also loved to sing and dance. My dad really loved drawing and painting in his young years. During his school years, he was one of the popular kids in school, he was very good looking and loved to listen and read about the bible. My dad was called ‘the crush of the town’ because of his looks. His younger sister Mes would always whine and complain about wanting another sister. While his 4 other brothers: Val, Edgar, Ronald, and Junior played basketball with him all day. Junior was the youngest out of all of the siblings, he suffered from a brain tumor and died. My dad and his siblings all received a pension of U.S dollars, they got this from their father since he used to work in Hawaii.
