De Rodolfo

En los 6 años en que conocí a Rodolfo y su familia, hay mucho que contar, por mi parte escribiré algunas anécdotas y dejaré abierta la ventana de comentarios a otros para que también participen en este recordatorio.

He estado haciendo una extensa búsqueda por la Web, tratando de copilar datos y fotos, casualmente el pasado año encontré algunos escritos y una foto de un periódico, no es mucho, pero dejan una respuesta de los últimos años de su vida.

En BLOG ARCHIVE podrán encontrar fotos del barrio, artículos de la prensa americana y cubana que tiene que ver con su familia, me refiero al naufragio del Trasantlántico Morro Castle en 1934, encontraran también artículos de prensa de Miami de los años 80 y de amigos que colaboraron con él, etc.

QUE EN PAZ DESCANSES AMIGO!

I knew Rodolfo and his family for more than 6 years, there is a lot to tell about the family. I will post some stories and pictures and will leave an open window for others that want to participate in this memorial.

I have been searching the Web for information and I have found some pictures and posts from others that knew him, even about his family and the tragic fire on Morro Castle ship.

In BLOG ARCHIVE you will find old pictures from the early 70's taken in his town.
There are articles about the Transatlantic Morro Castle, about his artwork in a Miami Club, etc.

REST IN PEACE OLD FRIEND!

    Hello,
    I stumbled across this blog and want to set something straight - Rodolfo did NOT die of Aids! He did not have Aids. I am his ex-girlfriend, and I spoke with the doctor who was treating him in New Orleans at the time of his death. Rodolfo died of liver damage as a result of Hepatitis C.

    He is not buried anywhere. I have his ashes.

    We were together for 6 years. He was a creative genius and a truly incredible man, and I loved him dearly.

      Hi,
      A group of Rodolfo's friends from Miami want to start a group page for Wet Paint and UFO. We did a fan page, but we think a group page where everyone can contribute is a better route. I am looking for information on his time in Cuba, what he was doing there and how he got here. I have some stories he told me but they are patchy at best. Please contact me if you are interested, thanks, Inger
