Mi mas sentido pesame por el gran individuo , gran artista de increible corazon…Estoy totalmente sorprendida , hace apenas en Julio 2014 , que por pura casualidad visite su Galeria con mi esposo Miguel y mi hijo James que cumplia 20 en Julio 1. El amablemente le dio de regalo a mi hijo , uno de sus cuadros .El nos pidio que rezaramos por su senora , Dona Margie , que se encontraba muy malita , con las monjas que cuidaban de ella. Apenas hace una semana le comentaba a mi hermana sobre don Wilfredo , ahora hoy Julio 7,2015 encontre que habia fallecido . Siento mucho ,de corazon ,lo digo. Dios lo reciba en su gloria.
