Alberto “Bert” C. Convento, of Philadelphia, passed away peacefully on November 13, 2026, surrounded by his loving family, just two days shy of his 82nd birthday.

Born on November 15, 1944, in the Philippines, Bert was the eldest of 13 children born to Pascual and Eugenia Convento. Following his college graduation, he made the courageous decision to enlist in the United States Navy while still living in the Philippines. He proudly served his country as a submariner during the Vietnam War. His decision to serve marked a turning point in his family's history, eventually paving the way for the Convento family's journey from the Philippines to the United States and creating opportunities for generations to come.

Following his military service, Bert continued his dedication to public service in Philadelphia, where he built a respected career as both a federal officer and a civil engineer for the City of Philadelphia. His strong work ethic, determination, and commitment to serving others remained defining qualities throughout his life.

Bert also maintained a deep connection to his faith and community. A devoted parishioner of St. Augustine Church in Philadelphia, he generously volunteered his time and talents, always willing to lend a helping hand wherever needed. His kindness, generosity, and quiet dedication earned him the respect and admiration of those fortunate enough to know him.

Above all, family remained the center of Bert's life. As a devoted husband, loving father, and proud grandfather, he believed that family provided the foundation for everything meaningful in life. He led by example, demonstrating the importance of hard work, humility, perseverance, and unconditional love. His journey from the Philippines to the United States stands as a lasting testament to his courage and determination to build a better future for his family.

Devoted husband of Celia Ringor Convento. Beloved father of Alberto Jr, Ronald D., Arnold, Gilbert, Jeannette, Ronald C., and Michelle.
