Obituary Antonio “Tony” Galeng Farin, 73, of Virginia Beach, VA, went to be with The Lord on May 31, 2019 after a brave battle with ALS. He was born in San Narciso, Zambales, Philippines to the late Juan and Asuncion Farin. Tony always shared fond memories of his childhood. At age 19, Tony joined the United States Navy where he served for 21 years. After retiring from the U. S. Navy, he joined the Military Sealift Command where he served for 15 years. While in the Navy, Tony met his loving wife, Delia. He was stationed in Virginia Beach, VA in 1977 which he was fortunate to make his permanent home. Tony loved to watch all sports, western dramas, gardening and fishing. His biggest passion came later in life as his grandchildren were born. He adored them and spoiled them to no end. Tony always had a story to share or joke to tell. He was a great friend, devoted husband, loving father, caring uncle, and an amazing grandfather. Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 48 years, Delia Juliano Farin; daughter Claire Anne Hersey and husband Ryan of Chesapeake, VA; son Carl Anthony Farin and partner Brandi Gardner of Virginia Beach, VA; sister Remedios Farin; brother Alfonso Farin; sister Venus Landingin; brother Nestor Farin; three grandsons, Dylan, Keegan and Anthony; and a plethora of extended family and friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Andy Galbreath and his staff, especially Becky and Yoly; Dr. Hambaz and Shirin; The ALS Foundation/Jeri Prosser; The Veterans Affairs Hospital; Encompass Home Health Care, especially Hannah, David, and Sam; and Donnie Fernandez, his aide and friend through the very end.
