Passing of Ramon "Cuban Comet"

I am so sorry to hear what has happened. Ramon’s glass work, fins and shapes were very nice to look at and he was always helpful. His sense of humor was very subtle – I still crack up every time I hear the “Real Men of Genius (which used to be Real American Heros)” radio spots – great joke, check archives. He would regularly help me with the glassing woes. Good bro. Very sorry he’s gone. Que Dios le bendiga su familia. Magoo.

Ramon would have a question( usually about Twinzer fin placements) I’d answer him. He’d answer back with a thank you. All of you guys have to realize that at any given day you can get the news. “Wow, that doesn’t look good on the MRI.” Anyone could get called up by the BIG GUY tomorrow. How did you live your life? Think about it. All Aloha, TW

Adios amigo…any man that shares and creates is a hero in my book, you’ll be missed. Memories are forever, your cyber friend.

This is so incredibly sad. Ramon wrote me many times always with good, constructive things to say. He was a class act. He was a master craftsman. He personified the Swaylock’s spirit. The breadth of this eulogy, from “old faces” and new, speaks to all of that. This is a turn in the road and one that I won’t soon forget. S

I’m so sorry to hear that news. I didn’t know your cousin. But, wanted to extend my sincere condolences on your loss. Many prayers to the “Cuban Comet”, and your entire family.
