In July 1964, Mr. Aguilar married Maria Elena Aguilar, with whom he shared 51 years of marriage until her passing in 2015. Together, with their five children—Danelia, Adan, Miriam, Orlando, and Alfonso—they built a life centered on love, family, and shared values.
For 25 years, Mr. Aguilar worked in customs in Puerto Isabel, Nicaragua, where his dedication to his work was evident.
