Dr. Guillermo Tremols died on December 16, 2024, at the age of 87, following an esophageal tear during one of his annual trips to Paris. He was born on May 10, 1937, in Havana, Cuba, to José Guillermo Tremols and Margarita Giménez. Guillermo was the younger brother of José Ignacio Tremols by four years.
He graduated from the University of Salamanca in February 1965, and later completed his residency at Georgetown University Hospital where he served as senior resident in pediatrics. In 1969, he opened a pediatric practice in Reston, Virginia with his partner Dr. René Llaneras. Dr. Tremols worked in his practice until the age of 81, maintaining his credentials until the very end.
Guilermo’s love for Cuba was profound. Though he left the island at the age of 23 following the communist takeover, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 solidified his exile. He never returned to Cuba but kept its spirit alive in his heart through its music, food, stories, and traditions.
His hobbies include music, art, dancing, cycling, fishing, free-diving, and storytelling. Yearly family traditions, such as winter ski trips, summers in Miami, vacations in Nags Head, and month-long Paris trips, created wonderful, long-lasting memories.
Guillermo met his wife, Maggie Dufa,u when they both lived at Barcroft View Terrace in Falls Church, Virginia. He was a 33-year-old divorcé with two young daughters, and she was a spirited 22-year-old woman. After a first date playing tennis, they married three months later, beginning a 53-year love story filled with laughter, music, and family.
Together, Guillermo and Maggie raised four children: Maria Tremols Orbay (Jorge Orbay), Lucy Tremols (Galen Bright), Maggie Tremols (Matthew Agostinelli), and Guillermo “Guille” Tremols. They were blessed with grandchildren Maria Carolina Orbay (Fernando Aran), Mariana Orbay (Raul Cubiña), Jordi Orbay (Rui Yang), Mateo Agostinelli, Malia Agostinelli, and Misha Agostinelli, and great-grandchildren Nando Aran, Pelayo Aran, Marimar Aran, Maia Cubiña, and Juan Luis Orbay.
Guillermo’s family was his greatest joy and the heart of his life. He taught them to embrace life with open arms, no matter what challenges it brought. He often reminded his family that, above all, family is
everything.
everything.
