But at 3:10 this morning El Jefe passed away. His sisters and mother were with him as he fell asleep, peacefully and then, just went to a better place.

My last email from him was a gruesome tale of fistuals and terrible uncomfort.but, as he said, "I'M BACK ON LINE!!!"

Carl Moreno , a.k.a. El Jefe, knew the DR from back in Trujillo's times and was in Santo Domingo when the dictator was killed. I think he took a lot of information to the grave.

His opinions were always wise and to the point. He shall be missed.

HB, very sadly.

May he rest in peace. Did he not tell us a few months ago that another child had been born? I know he was absent from this board for many months, but I think the other day he came back and posted a message. I remember when he said he was sick but happy because a new baby boy had been born. Is that right Hillbilly?

Tis is the second man I called a friend who has passed this holiday season......

May his spirit join those that have gone before and may his family find comfort in knowing that his suffering has ended and a new adventure begun!
He will be missed!

El Jefe is in a better place...

Its amazing that although he was going thru so much pain he found time to keep his virtual friends updated.

May he rest in peace.

With your permission

I am going to send this link to Carl's family. His Dad sent me a note saying that they were putting together a book of condolences for his Mom.

I'm not sure if any of you remember this but he lived across the street form one of the major players in the Trujillo assassination....went to scholl with a lot of interesting people...
