Augustine "Telin" Guisa Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Augustine “Telin” Guisa, 70, of Highland CA, went to be with his Lord on Thursday, November 9th, 2017. He passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones at Kaiser Hospital, Baldwin Park. He leaves behind his longtime companion, Juanita Arriaga; his sons Augustine Guisa Jr and Steven Guisa and his wife Amy; his daughters Kelly O’Brien and Holly Evers and her husband Mathew; Brother Manuel Guisa and sisters Noni Jimenez and Jessie Lopez; 8 grandchildren and one great grandchild; and his dog Minnie. Born and raised in San Bernardino, the son of Manuel and Lucia (Cabrales) Guisa, he was a longtime resident of Highland, spending his last few years in Hacienda Heights. Shortly after graduating from San Bernardino High School he enlisted in the US Army where he served as a paratrooper for the 101st “Screaming Eagles” Airborne Division. Following his faithful service he transitioned into a highly skilled welder with S&E Pipeline where he had a successful career until his early medical retirement. After his retirement he decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of traveling the world with his companion, Juanita. In his early years, he enjoyed taking his children on many vacations, camping in Sequoia, cabin stays in the Grand Canyon, or hauling the trailer off to Mexico in their big yellow station wagon. He was a lover of sports and could often be found watching football or boxing on TV. He loved attending his daughter’s softball games and was the most enthusiastic coach and fan. Augie was a lover of animals of all kinds. His big heart would never say no to stray. For this reason the family asks that in lieu of flowers that a donation be made, in his memory, to the Redlands Animal Shelter, where many years ago he rescued his beloved dog, Molina. The viewing and Rosary will be held at Bobbitt Memorial Chapel in San Bernardino on Thursday, November 16th at 5:00pm. A funeral service will be held Friday, November 17th at 10:00am at St. Adelaide’s Church in Highland. “This traveler just left for his last adventure.”
