At Codezol, we are in mourning. We have lost one of our members, we are referring to Mr. Julio Laracuente. Julio was a member of our corporation for more than fifteen years. Always, unless he was in Puerto Rico or on family business, he attended our activities. His presence was felt, as it was always pleasant to have a pleasant conversation with Julio. A very happy person, always with a smile, which we will not forget.

To his family, we send our sincere condolences and we ask the Almighty to give them the necessary strength.
