Obituary of Teodoro C. Ronquillo
Teodoro Carlos Ronquillo, 93, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital – New Brunswick.
Born in Manila, Philippines to the late Catalina and Felipe Ronquillo, Ted immigrated to the United States in 1969. Here, he resided in Jersey City, before ultimately settling in Piscataway in 1978. He has been a longtime resident since.
Growing up, he attended Dr. Alehandro Albert Elementary School, then Areliano High School, before attending University. A graduate of Lyceum University in Manila Class of 1954, Ted began his career in Law by forming an association of Attorneys and serving as consultants to City Hall. Most of the cases they handled involved land. He later went on to practice Corporate Law with Continental Insurance and Liberty Mutual Insurance. Although he retired in 1996, Ted continued to consult with Liberty Mutual for several years.
Ted was a man of many passions. He enjoyed tennis, golf, singing and dancing, going to casinos, playing Mahjong, and was an active parishioner of St. Frances Cabrini RC Church in Piscataway, as well as the Greater Middlesex Santo Nino Prayer Group.
Above all else, family is what meant the most to Ted. He cherished traveling with his family, whether it was family road trips, or trips with his late wife, Zenaida. He also found joy in taking his children fishing and crabbing when they were younger, these along with many other family memories were well documented by Ted as he loved to take family videos. Not only was he a family man with many passions, he will be remembered for his ability to fix anything. A true handyman, he was a jack of all trades.
