Dear Pat and Andy,
So sorry to read of "MISTER" Pilara's passing. His smile brightened up the room. I will always remember him with Melba at my wedding - sitting in the back pew and laughing as I walked down the aisle. My prayers are with you.

Remembering the numerous hours he gave of his time to help develop the boys he coached, not to mentioned the 'Taxi" service he offered when he would drive us home after practices [ Funston playground to the sunset.]-- My wife and I are in Florida and we regretfully will be ubable to attend today's service.

Oh Pat, please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of your Dad. My love and prayers to you and yours. 0x, kaaren
