Pilar was a devoted father and grandfather. He was so proud of his sons and loved sitting and talking with them, holding those conversations close to his heart. He was fun, loud and proud. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren who were his pride and joy. Going to the park was his favorite time with them. He was proud of his sobriety and held his support group with the highest regard.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
