I read this earlier. I had a chance to speak with Abel a few weeks ago and he had mentioned that his father was back in Cuba and was sick. Didn't think something like this would happen so soon after I spoke with him. Avelino is a legend in the industry and will be missed.

Some day, after the Embargo is gone, we must build a monument in his honor.

That's a shame. My wife and I were lucky enough to meet him many years ago in the Bahamas. God rest his soul.
