Chris Pablo, an advocate for people with cancer throughout his 14-year battle with the disease, will be remembered at a “;celebration of life”; memorial Friday at St. Andrew's Cathedral.

The service will begin at 6 p.m. Friends may call after 3 p.m. The family suggests that casual or aloha attire be worn and that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to “;The Pablo Education Fund.”; Donations for the fund to provide college education for his two youngest sons may be made at any Bank of Hawaii branch.
