Carmelino Reyes Capati Jr., known as Junior or Mang Jun by his loved ones, was born in Pampanga, Philippines on on December 13, 1941.Jun came to America in 1971 with very little capital, and instead of pursuing his degree in law, he decided to follow his passion in business and people, and opened The Asian Mart. Laughter and joy were always present in his interactions with others. If the total of a customer's bill was $20.50, he would tell the customer that the total was ONLY $2, 050! His loving and joking personality and his dedication to his business led him to making an everlasting impact on his community. Following the closing of The Asian Mart in 2012, he continued to enjoy his life with his family.

Capati (Paul Penoske), his grandchildren Sidney Capati, John Paul Penoske, Carsen Capati, Kai Mari Penoske, and Carmelino Michael (Carmichael) Capati and many loved ones and friends.
