Alfonso Echeverria was able to illuminate with his presence a business meeting, a dinner with friends or a congress of experts in ocean sailing. United intelligence to analyze situations and ability to synthesize a response that became the center of gravity. Student of seamanship, boat lover and connoisseur, as few of the management of the marinas, to which he devoted his best years work, Alfonso Echeverria was known in the maritime world knew ingenious solutions to everyday problems found that insinuate themselves into the routine. I spoke knot Echegaray Echegaray shackle, and even the dock Echegaray. Sometimes it was an innovation in materials, or use, sometimes the finding was to arrange the elements differently, easier and more effective. That gift, so rare among us, too much attached to tradition, was the reference to Alfonso any difficulties, accident or conflict. Extraordinary was to carry that weight with a permanent smile and admirable discretion. No one at his side could feel overwhelmed. Alfonso Echeverria was the kind friend, faithful and accurate.
Perhaps it was lesser known facet of artists interested not only in music, his favorite hobby, but also in literature, painting and film. Could design a novel in the course of a meal, a film by Eastwood improve walking along a dock or a glimpse of the hidden beauty in the trivial details of an object or a landscape. Music, activity that took refuge to rest, Alfonso played different styles: the composition, lyrics, voice, music country, rock, bolero and rumba. Obviously the mischievous, if they survive, will not be the same without him.
always remember her smile, her wisdom, his eyes bright, his wit, his talent, his advice, his presence, his word. Your life. He died on Dec. 23, but we all know will be with us forever. Juan Zamora
