Rufino F. Crisostomo, Jr., M.D., 81, died peacefully on Tuesday, September 4, 2018, in Chicago, Illinois. Born on September 5, 1936 in the Philippines, he had an illustrious medical career, which included humanitarian medical missions. As a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology, he practiced medicine in Barbourville, Kentucky for 15 years, delivering about 10,000 babies. In 1987, Dr. Crisostomo relocated to Chicago, Illinois, and worked for the City of Chicago Department of Public Health and the Cook County Department of Public Health until his retirement in 2011. He was known to his colleagues, nurses, and patients for his compassion, care, and humility.

 

Throughout his life Dr. Crisostomo remained socially, politically, and civically engaged. Dr. Crisostomo remained an active member of the First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple, and served in several volunteer capacities including Mabuhay Fellowship president and as a physician in a Rwandan refugee camp in response to the genocide and civil war. He was a member of the Philippine fraternal order Knights of Rizal, and was conferred the esteemed rank of Knight Grand Cross of Rizal for his outstanding contributions and achievements for the order. Grateful for the community and people around him, he was also an active, longtime member of the Board of Directors of the Filipino American Council of Greater Chicago, and served as Chairman and Immediate Past Chairman. His life exemplified the ideals of Philippine national hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal. He will be remembered for his kindness, sense of wonder, thoughtful stewardship, and dedication to community service and philanthropic leadership.

 

Dr. Crisostomo leaves us a legacy to build upon, a vision to continually pursue and restore the good for our Filipino American and broader communities. Let us continue each day to be inspired by his example and his call to foster thoughtful cross-cultural dialogue, appreciation, and understanding – and make our Rizal Center a welcoming place for all.

 

Dr. Crisostomo is survived by his daughter Daisy and son Glenn, his wife Marivic, and children Alexa and Zackary. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Teresita in 2013.
