View all 55 ReflectionsI remember this. It happened not too far from where I lived. There’s now a memorial plaque there. I was struck by the fact that his name means Xmas in Spanish and he was killed three days before Christmas. I’m so sorry for his loss and I hope his family is doing well… They were too young to lose a husband and a father… Rest in peace
