Obituary

Arturo Reynado Cruz, 100, of Oro Valley, AZ, was called to his eternal home by his Lord and Savior on November 24, 2025.

Arturo was born in the Philippines. He was the eldest of 8 siblings and became the father figure for his family at an early age when their father passed unexpectedly. He graduated from, and later taught Accountancy in the University of the East. Arturo came to the U.S. in 1968 with his family when he was appointed manager of the Philippine National Bank, New York Branch. After leaving the bank in 1973 and deciding to stay in the U.S., he was hired by Bank Hapoalim, an Israeli bank, as the manager of their newly opened branch in New York. He later returned to the Philippines where he was offered and held various executive positions in government and privately owned banks. He retired in 1992 and returned to the U.S.

Arturo lived a full and fruitful life worthy of the calling he has received from, and built on the firm foundation of profound faith in, and deep devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ which he exemplified through his kindness and generosity and his enduring love for his family. For this, our family will forever be blessed.

Arturo is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Naomi Cruz. He is survived and will be lovingly missed by his son and daughter-in-law and his daughters and sons-in-law, Augie and Fe Cruz, Beth and Joel Reyes, Winnie and Jun Bernardez and, Louel and Noel Bernardez, as well as, his 10 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

Our deepest condolences to the Cruz family, especially to our dearest friends Augie and Fe. Though we never met Itay, Augie’s stories about his Dad’s strong faith leads us to believe he is now in the joyous company of angels and his dear wife. Augie, your family now has another special angel looking down upon you and guiding you, your sisters and your families. Sincerely, Mike and Ruby

Our deep sympathy for your loss, Boying, Beth, Winnie, and Louel, but praise God for the blessed assurance your Itay found in Jesus. I treasure the fact that your Itay and Inay, and your family welcomed me to your home(s) many times since I arrived as a teenager in NYC. I remember a generous man, strict, engaging, and always asking me to play the piano. Our prayers are with you all. Ruth and Eli Reyes
