Hilarion Recaido Miguel

Hilarion Recaido Miguel, a longtime resident, passed peacefully in his home surrounded by his family on Thursday, October 27, 2021. He was 92. 

Hilarion was born July 23, 1929, in Laoag City, Philippines where he worked as a driver. He met his wife, Martina Bangloy, in Isabela and they married March 14, 1954. On February 14, 1985, they emigrated to the United States. After a brief visit to Hawaii, they moved to Sitka, where Hilarion was a driver and then worked at Sitka Sound Seafoods as a fish processor until he retired, after nearly 25 years of service.

He was an avid tinkerer and reader.  Solitaire was his favorite card game and he loved playing cards with his wife on the couch. 

What he enjoyed most was supporting his family in Sitka and in the Philippines. 

Hilarion was preceded in death by his parents Fortunata Recaido and Eugenio Miguel, both of Laoag City; and siblings Isabel dela Cruz Barroga of Honolulu and Marcelina Martin of Sitka.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Martina Miguel of Sitka; daughters Josie Ancheta (Robert) and Marchelle Rodrigo (Zaldy); grandchildren JR Ancheta, Aiza Miguel, Dazlymar Rodrigo-Grenadier (Nash), RJ Miguel (Kylee Jones), Luckyrae Miguel, Dhariel Rodrigo; and great-grandchild Kyler Rodrigo.
