We did not know you personally but we are related Castillo's as shown on an update of Ancestry.com. My brother Fred has done extended research on the Castillo family-- updated 2012-2013, your grandfather was related to my grandfather. The update includes information dating back to the mid-1800's. Too bad our families do not know about each other until we see an obituary. Our prayers are with your family.
