RIP Luis Fernandez, Sr. 1929 – 2007

I touched down at Logan Airport in Boston exactly 168 hours – seven days – ago. It is at this hour that we learned Luis’ tatay has departed to the hereafter.

Luis Fernandez Sr. with Jr.

He is a man who sacrificed all for family in his desire to make a better life for them in the USA starting over 30 years ago. It’s a sad moment for the whole Fernandez family. I have been blessed with this connection to the family and to their homeland.
