    Sad news Fidel Castro has passed away.



    I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

    Certainly the end of an era. The thought of Trump probably finished him off.

    God rest him, a Catholic man. Baptised, took Communion and was Confirmed.

    I would have been on the opposite side of his political views but I respect him for sticking to his cause and taking over an entire country and enforcing his ideology on them.

    He fully believed in what he said, he was a doer not a thinker.

    A wonderful leader. The type of leader who would make people want to chance their arm on an inflatable dingy over shark infested waters just to get away from.

    Went to visit Cuba last month, it was like stepping back into a 1950's time warp, RIP Fidel, but now I hope that your people can get the investment that they deserve and your country can start catching up with the rest of the world.
