“John Pilafas was a kind, generous, wonderful person . In the short time that I knew him , he taught me not only to love others around me but myself as well. He helped me through a difficult part of my life and I'm very saddened by his passing. He will be greatly missed. The world is a lesser place now without his brilliance, thoughtfulness , and genuinity. I'm glad I was able to call him a friend.”

Nicholas J. Greanias wrote a sympathy message

“Fr. John Pilafas was a loving, gentle soul who had a rare ability to make people feel better about themselves. He had a deep faith in God and love for His Church. He was very proud of his priestly vocation, and I was proud to be his friend. It is a great comfort that Fr. John’s resurrection in Christ happens at the time of Holy Week and Easter. May his memory be an eternal blessing! Fr. Nick Greanias”
