Doni's greatest pleasure in life was the years with Laddie and his children, and most of all spending time and talking about his grandchildren.Doni's pride and joy was being Lolo aka Lolopot.

Doni and Laddie were co-founders of a Filipino Christian chorale from former Melrose UMC in Oakland, California, whose main purpose was to express the gifts the Filipino culture brings to society and to the Church and to share their songs and ministry to all.Their repertoire included classic religious songs, Broadway hits, and original Pilipino music (OPM).They sang at two UMC General Conferences in 2004 and 2008, UMW Western Jurisdiction Quadrennial Event in 2008, and UMC Western Jurisdictional Conference in 2012.They traveled all over the United States, Myanmar, and the Philippines.The chorale was featured in the March-April 2009 "New World Outlook" – the official magazine of The United Methodist Church.

Doni was part of a 10-member delegation from the Philippines Solidarity Task Force of the California-Nevada Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church that visited Manila and surrounding areas in Luzon on a pastoral visit and solidarity mission, August 19-31, 2011.Hosted by the National Council of Churches, Philippines, the delegation team visited farming, fishing, and urban poor communities, and met with political prisoners and human rights violations survivors and families.

For many years, Doni loved going to Disneyland with his wife, children and grandchildren, to which his children now share that same passion.Doni loved the time spent with friends and family.He was a very generous man.He would give you his last penny if you asked, and unlimited time which is priceless.
