Falleció el sábado 17 en Estados Unidos el abogado Allan Pilson. Enviamos sus condolencias a su familia, amigos y colegas.

Transcribimos en inglés el comunicado enviado por su mujer, Laura Messina:

Allan Saunder Pilson passed away peacefully on December 17 at the age of 74. An internationally recognized lawyer and the senior partner at the Manhattan law office of Ladas & Parry where he specialized in Latin American/U.S. trademark and copyright law for 50 years.

As a teenager attending A.B. Davis High School in Mt. Vernon, NY Allan was at the center of a vibrant accapella doo wop music scene singing with a loose knit group of vocalists, including Neil Arena, who eventually recorded as the Mello-Kings. 

Later in life, Pilson enjoyed a cult following for serenading regulars in spontaneous acapella duets with long time friend Arnold Mandell at venues on Manhattan's Upper West Side including Jean Georges, Ouest and Don't Tell Mama's and was prominantly featured in many of his son's, artist John Pilson, video works including "Above The Grid" 1999 which includes scenes of Pilson and Mandell in business suits singing accapella doo wop numbers while strolling the halls of Manhattan's World Trade Center's North Tower.

Allan loved sports and was a fan since childhood of his beloved Yankees.

He is survived by his wife Laura Messina and her children from a previous marriage Milton and Lorena. His own children from a previous marriage John Pilson and Kimberly Fitzgerald Pilson and grandchildren Jack Minh Pilson, Audrey Mai Pilson and Sylvie Rose Fitzgerald; and by sister and brother-in-law Tom and Lois Shanker.
