Allan Paurillo was beloved by all who he met. Our father did not meet any strangers, they all became family. His passion was to serve others as Christ had served the church, he did this first by loving our mom in this way. He epitomized servant leadership. He “roared like a lion with his heart and hands” as one of their adopted kids said. For many years, he worked as a pharmacy technician in the evenings serving the sick in the hospital and during the day, he served so many mostly fixing cars or fixing other things for our family and friends. He was a brother to all and a father to the fatherless. He always put others before himself. He was a simple man but did extraordinary things. He loved his family very much and would go the extra mile to help not just family but everyone. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. He loved God and had a heart to serve.
