"There will be a wake for Fernando soon. I will advise everyone when/where but those of you who would like to will have a chance to pay your last respects before he goes back to the United States for his funeral."


It seems like today might be the day!!

Please keep us posted.

Truly a sad, sad time as Fernando was one of the last real old-school bookmakers that I know and respect down here that was still in the business. EP said it best in the other thread when talking about meeting up with Fernando... except for one thing - he did not COMMAND your respect.... he merely treated you like he would want to be treated in return and you quickly CAME to respect him.

Fernie did a lot of good things and helped a lot of people in this industry in many many different ways. He is a man that will truly be missed.
