Mr. Ygnacio Avila's Obituary
AVILA, Ygnacio, April 7, 1923 to November 15, 2007. Ygnacio follows his two sons into Heaven: Frank and Gilbert and his father Leo and mother Gracy. He was married to Hilda Sierra Avila for 56 years. Together they raised seven children. Two are in Heaven waiting for their father, four surviving daughters: Yolanda, Denise, Ildita and Angela and one surviving son: Nicholas. They have lived all their lives in Tampa. Ygnacio worked as a paint and body man for more than 60 years. He was also involved in his two favorite clubs: the Masons and the Sheriff's Association but above all he was a family man. We remember our father most for his jokes and the way he told them. This was a man that did not know malice at all. He lived a very clean life, he never raised his voice or his hand to anyone. We, as his children, can honestly tell you that he did not have a mean bone in his body. As a husband, he was one that any woman would be blessed to have as a husband and family provider. Our father loved to dance and take cars apart and put them back together again. His ultimate past time other than our Mom was his TV and his need to travel. He was the biggest kid our Mom had. He loved all the amusement parks and his favorite park was Disney World. Our father will be missed greatly not only by his wife Hilda but his children and grandchildren. For as we have lost our father in presence he will always be in our hearts. Our father has joined our Father in Heaven and awaits us with open arms. A man that will be missed by many.
Love,
Your Wife and children
