Born on January 22, 1946, in Cebu City, Philippines. In 1975, he married the love of his life, Dominica "Neneng", with whom he shared 49 beautiful years of marriage. The following year, they immigrated to America together where they built a loving home and raised two children, Kristine and Kevin.

In the Philippines, Lito studied and earned multiple degrees in civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, from the Cebu Institute of Technology. Lito loved nothing more than tinkering with gadgets and machinery. His kind and gentle nature combined with strong will and determination inspired those around him. He enjoyed traveling all over America and spending time together with his family. Going to Atlantic City, watching action movies and playing with his grandchildren Julian and Josephine were a few of his favorite things to do.
Lito is survived by his loving wife, Dominica; daughter Kristine Go (Michael Aguirre); son Kevin (Elizabeth) Go; and his two precious grandchildren, Julian and Josephine Go. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his legacy of love, kindness, and generosity will live on in their hearts forever.
