Guimar was a hardworking man, dedicated to both family and service to the community. He had a larger-than-life personality with the ability to make you feel immediately welcome. He devoted his time to coaching basketball as well as spending quality time with his family and those he loved including foster children placed in his care.  He was always willing to help and support those around him and had a willingness to do just about anything to make you smile and laugh. He enjoyed time at the beach with his family and had a huge passion for sports, especially the Mets and Ducks. Aside from his love for his family he loved and was very proud to be Puerto Rican.
