Candido Bejerano

Today we mourn the loss of Candido Bejerano who sadly left us too soon on Monday, October 25th, 2021.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Maria, and his adoring and devoted daughters, Margarita Wallach and Mariana Bejerano, and his son-in-law Peter Wallach. Candido is also survived by his mother, Josefa Diaz, his cherished grandchildren Charlotte Aitkens, and Kieran, Michela, and Alexis Wallach, as well as his brothers Modesto Bejerano and Raoul Duval.

Candido was a caring, kind, and generous man who was as quick to lend a helping hand in any way he could as he was to light up a room with his unique (and occasionally cutting) sense of humor.  He was a fantastic cook who loved to entertain family and friends at his house and to make them feel comfortable and welcome. He bravely, and against adversity, undertook to bring his family to America in 1980 to give his daughters opportunities that he never had.  He owned multiple small businesses and built a successful life for himself and his family, in every way.

The lack of his presence will be deeply felt by all the people who loved him, and he will be sorely missed.  The world he leaves behind is a better place because of him.

Visitation for family and friends will be Wednesday, October 27th, 2021 from 4:00-8:00 pm.
Funeral Mass will be Thursday, October 28th, 2021 at 11:00 am at St. Joseph of the Palisades R.C Church, West New York, NJ.
Entombment to follow Mass at Flower Hill Mausoleum in North Bergen, NJ.

Hoy lamentamos la pérdida de Cándido Bejerano, quien tristemente nos dejó demasiado pronto el lunes 25 de octubre de 2021.

Deja atrás a su amada esposa, María, y sus adoradas y devotas hijas, Margarita Wallach y Mariana Bejerano, y su hijo en ley Peter Wallach. A Candido también le sobreviven su madre, Josefa Díaz, sus queridos nietos Charlotte Aitkens y Kieran, Michela y Alexis Wallach, así como sus hermanos Modesto Bejerano y Raoul Duval. 

Cándido era un hombre cariñoso, amable y generoso que se apresuró a echar una mano en todo lo que pudo, así como a iluminar una habitación con su sentido del humor único (y ocasionalmente cortante). Era un cocinero fantástico al que le encantaba entretener a familiares y amigos en su casa y hacerlos sentir cómodos y bienvenidos. Valientemente, y contra la adversidad, se comprometió a traer a su familia a Estados Unidos en 1980 para brindarles a sus hijas oportunidades que nunca tuvo. Era dueño de varias pequeñas empresas y construyó una vida exitosa para él y su familia, en todos los sentidos. 

La falta de su presencia será sentida profundamente por todas las personas que lo amaron, y lo extrañaremos profundamente. El mundo que deja atrás es un lugar mejor gracias a él. 

Las visitas para familiares y amigos serán el miércoles 27 de octubre de 2021 de 4: 00-8: 00 pm.
La misa fúnebre será el jueves 28 de octubre de 2021 a las 11:00 am en St. Joseph of the Palisades RC Church, West New York, NJ.
Entierro después de la misa en Flower Hill Mausoleum en North Bergen, Nueva Jersey.
