Emilio E. Villatoro

Emilio Efraín Villatoro Sr. falleció en paz, rodeado del amor de su familia. Emilio era conocido por su espíritu dulce y tierno — una presencia gentil para todos los que lo conocieron. Encontraba alegría en los placeres simples de la vida: jugar boliche con amigos, perderse en un buen libro, y jugar Lotería con la intensidad y estrategia de un jugador profesional de Monopoly, para el deleite de su familia.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Nora; su hijo, Emilio Jr.; sus hermanos, Hermogenes y Luis; y su hermana, Mina. Le precedieron en la muerte su hermana, América Isabel, también conocida como “Chave,” y su hermano, Efraín.

Emilio será profundamente extrañado por su familia y por todos los que tuvieron la dicha de conocerlo.

Se llevará a cabo un velorio de 6:00 a 8:00 PM el 3 de agosto en Montclair Lucania Funeral Home, 6901 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL 60634.
