                            Paulino Villarreal Sr., Longtime City Worker And Pilsen Volunteer, Remembered As ‘Grandpa To The Whole Neighborhood’

                            Paulino Villarreal Sr. was a fixture on his block for 50 years, known for giving ice cream to kids, settling disputes with gangs and keeping watch from his bench. “My dad was the last of the great ones,” his son said.
