So sorry to find out this late in my life that an old friend has passed away. I shared many days living in his home while at Queen's University, at the time Claudio was finishing his doctorate. We lost contact after I left to work overseas but never forgot Claudio, Noemi and two children Claudio and Marcelo who were all extremely kind to accept (me) in their home a fellow compatriot who like many other students was broke. May your soul rest in peace Claudio. Alejandro - Posted by: Alejandro Godoy (Friend) on: Nov 22, 2021

I read at El Mercurio about Claudio´s passing away: although for so many years we were never in touch, I have lots of thoughts about both, and I wanted to tell Noemí and family I am sorry for their loss, but hope they are in peace and united.
