Dr. Ramon B. Seneris, Cardiologist, age 74 of Wayne, died unexpectedly on Monday, February 9, 2009. The Dr. was an avid reader and his passing occurred quietly while he was sitting on a bench, reading a book.

Dr. Seneris was born in the Philippines, moved to the United States in the 1960’s and settled in Wayne in 1977.

Dr. Seneris was an exceptionally brilliant man and very learned in many aspects. Few people know that he completed grade school in four years and began college at the young age of fourteen. He was really too young for college and would often skip classes to go to his uncle’s house where he would play the piano for hours at a time. He was a remarkable and beautiful pianist.

He later attended the Manila Central University to study medicine. Upon graduation, he came to the United States to complete his residency at the Bellevue Hospital in New York City. He then returned to the Philippines to begin his medical practice but was soon compelled to return to the United States. He did just that, coming back in the 1960’s, which is when he began working at several area hospitals, including Passaic General, St. Mary’s in Passaic, and Passaic Beth Israel. He was elected to be Head of the Department of Medicine while working at the St. Michael's Hospital in Newark, a position he held for two years.

He began his own practice on Clifton Avenue in Clifton, in 1974. He treated his patients and staff with an uncommon compassion and the well-being of his patients was always his primary concern. In return, his patients and staff loved him very much. He was kind hearted and understanding towards everyone. There is even a story that, while working in the Philippines, he accepted payment in the form of live chickens, which some of his friends say would not surprise them at all. He retired from practice in 2000.

Dr. Seneris is survived by his son Jonathan Seneris of Wayne, one sister; Felisa Gil and her husband Dan of the Philippines, one brother; Dr. Fidel Seneris and his wife Erlinda of Florida, and four dear cousins with whom he was very close; Dr. Petra Banogan of New York City, Dr. Vicente Banogan Carino and his wife Teodora of Flint, Michigan, Enrique Banogan Carino and his wife Devina of California, and Pio Banogon and his wife Marietta of Florida, as well as many dear family and friends throughout the United States and the Philippines.
