My condolences Rafael, not really know what to say.

It is with immense sadness that I communicate the loss of my 71 year old but other wise healthy brother Jose Alfonso Batlle to COVID, he had the best of care under difficult circumstances. We could not visit but spent many hours talking to him at the hospital.
He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather, who did a fantastic job of raising his children and was still a great influence on his grandkids. His barbecues and fishing expeditions are legendary, his orchid garden beautiful.
Foncho was a member of a very large extended loving latin family, present across continents. He is sorely missed by many who felt his home was ours.
Here is a very old snapshot of much happier times, he is the one dead center with his then girlfriend, Lya, now wife of 47 years. On the side my sister Carmen and myself.
Thank you for your support during these trying times.
