The children of the late actor Mark Gil, also known by his real name Ralph Eigenmann, who passed away Monday morning paid tribute to their father on several posts on Facebook and Twitter.
On her official Facebook page, actress Andi Eigenmann uploaded several photos of her happy moments with her father and siblings Gabby, Maxine, Stevie and Timmy Eigenmann a.k.a. Sid Lucero.
One photo of Andi and Mark was captioned, “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, But Love leaves a memory no one can steal” while another photo of them was taken in 2011 during the time when Andi was still pregnant.

In that photo, Andi describes Mark as the “ ever supportive dad who stood up with her daughter on one of the biggest trials of her life.”
Andi’s child, who turned out to be a daughter she named Ellie, also had a photo with her grandfather on her mother’s FB page.
On Twitter and Instagram, Andi as well as Mark’s son Gabby Eigenmann and daughter Maxine Eigenmann, who are also both in showbiz, tweeted messages of love for their father.
In her tweet, Andi repeated what his uncle Michael de Mesa said about her father in his television interviews, “As long as Filipino films are being watched and appreciated, there will always be a Mark Gil.”
Gabby’s Instagram message in full reads: “…And so you held my hand in yours, just like you did when I was young . But then you held it to your heart just as you slowly slipped away. Today I said goodbye to you Dad. I said the last I love you that you would hear. Fly free with the Lord, fly free without pain. No worries, no problems, just love. Thank you for everything you have done for me and the family. Thank you for the legacy you have left behind. You will be forever in our hearts, till we meet again…”
One of Maxine’s messages shows her new tattoo which she got only three days before her dad passed away as per this suggestion of her sister, Stevie, “My little sister, @stevieeigz came up with the unique idea of getting a tattoo of the sound waves of dad’s voice saying “I love you”. Got this last Friday. I LOVE YOU TOO DADDY FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER. @ralpheigenmann”
Another Instagram post was a poster for a screening of Mike de Leon’s “Batch ‘81” last Monday night at Route 196 in Katipunan, Quezon City. In the film, Mark Gil plays the iconic role of fraternity neophyte Sid Lucero.
In honor of his father, son Timmy Eigenmann later adopted the stage name of Sid Lucero which he has since been known as in his movies, including his latest, “Norte, Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”, scheduled to open in theaters this September 10.
Lucero has not posted anything on his social media pages since his father passed away last Monday after a two-year battle with liver cancer. As recently as last month, he denied to media that his father had cancer out of respect for the latter’s wish to keep his illness a secret.
