My good friend Ismael died from COVID-19 Friday, May 21, 2021. 

I had the good fortune to work with Ismael for 30 years. He was a good man; hardworking, honest, conscientious, warm hearted, and deeply devoted to his family. He was respected by all who worked with him.

There are substantial expenses in returning Ismael to his native Mexico, where he will be laid to rest. I hope we can support Ismael in his death as he supported many in his life, and cover these considerable costs for his family. 

I hope you will join me in honoring our friend. I will personally distribute any and all donations to Ismael’s family.
