Eight siblings fly in to surprise beloved baby brother on his 60th birthday
Eight siblings surprised their youngest brother with a reunion to celebrate his 60th birthday.
Galo Alfonso Baca Pinto is the youngest of 10 siblings. Born and raised in Ecuador until he was 17 years old, Baca Pinto was the last of his siblings, along with their mother, to come to the U.S.
According to his daughter, Stephanie Gattone, of the nine living siblings, five are in Brownsville, Texas, one is in Mexico, and three are in Chicago.
“His siblings are literally his ride-or-dies, his best-est friends,” said his youngest daughter, Jackie Baca. “They have a sibling chat that is blowing up at every minute of the day. They do sibling calls multiple times a week. They're always in communication with each other.”
When Baca Pinto’s family thought of what to do for his 60th birthday, they knew what he would appreciate most — to be surrounded by family.
“My grandma would say, and no one would argue, that he was her favorite child,” Gattone said. “But he's kind of earned it. He's all heart.”
His family started planning the surprise a year in advance and got about a hundred people on board to come to their Chicago home and celebrate him.
Watch the moment this family surprised their dad by flying in all his siblings and extended family to their home in Chicago for his 60th birthday.
“The tears just didn't stop,” Baca said, describing what happened when her father entered the room. “I look over and I just see all the siblings huddled and my dad is sobbing, and I see his older brothers just touching and kissing his face and he's just receiving it all.”
