Although I am unable to confirm, I received a sad call today to inform me of the passing of Julio from Otilias.

I am sure many of you have met him over the years:

Yes, I can confirm it, but I deliberately didn't post the article out of respect for the family who is suffering and doesn't need to see that photo or read the details.

I sent Solomon a message through friends and hope to see him soon.

I understand your response and doubt the Family reads this Board or would be concerned that "their friends" are concerned with the post and would value awareness and prayers.

Horrible.

They read this board and would not have been happy to see your post.
Thank you Rob for removing the link. RIP Julio

Unlikely Julio's Family reads this board. My communication with those close to the Family are saddened, angry and want justice. This starts with awareness.

My experience from long time local friends is there is no true local interest in this board given the rants and "seasonal" interest.

Yes, more so for those of us that have known Solomon for decades.

I am a close family friend and I know exactly how they would feel about that link being on this board.
We have all shed many tears since Sunday and frankly you are not someone I want to spend more time on regarding this.
Please let this drop and let the family mourn in peace.

I understand and respect your opinion.

However, I have spoken with El Chivo and he asked for assistance in raising awareness.

Being in the area for 30 years it is just sickening to see how many I have known are now dead, missing and/or forced to move.

Do you know of anyone or any way board members here can help out his immediate family with donations ?

If you do could you post a link?

I am sure many of us knew, met and used his services at Julio’s Tours over the years and would like to offer some help and support to his family during this difficult time

Thanks
