Dear brother of the late John Ordoño Sr., the late José Ordoño and Zenaida (Ordoño) Eco. Widowed husband to the late Norma M. Ordoño. Dearest father of Anacleto E. Ordoño (a.k.a. Edgar) and Joseph D.

Anacleto was known to many simply as “Tom”. He was a hardworking man who cared and loved his family deeply. In 1991 he came to the United States of America from the Philippines with his two sons, Edgar and Joseph along with his mother, Cecilia. Upon arriving in St. Louis, MO, Tom secured a job at Metropolitan Sewer District as a machine operator. He would go on to work for MSD for over 30 years before retiring. When Tom had free time, he loved to sing karaoke and his go-to song was “My Way” by Frank Sinatra. Tom was known as somewhat of a fashion icon. His outfits always matched his shoes, and he never left the house without his gold jewelry on. He often kept a comb handy in his pocket for when he needed to touch up his hair. In his retirement he occupied his time at what he called his “happy place”, the casino, playing slots.
Tom had a witty sense of humor; his smile and laugh could brighten up any room. He never met a stranger; he was always friendly to everyone he met. Above all else and most importantly he was a provider and a true family man in every sense of the word, always putting everyone’s needs above his own.
