Que en paz descanse. Que el Señor lo tenga en la gloria

I have no words to describe what sadness this brings. Fernando and I always had an unusual relationship, often we were at odds, but I cannot describe the respect I had for him. Our friendship was over two decades, and we learned together and from each other.
I will miss him terribly, our differences aside, we were friends above all.
Goodbye my friend, I will never forget you, and will try, hopefully with the members here, to keep the forum as you always strove to keep.

Onward, always, in your memory.

Very sad news and a great loss to this forum and to me. Very often I had a useful and helpful contact to Fernando, so I shall miss him deeply.

Yes, one of the mainstays of the group and a loss that will be felt.
Goodbye Fernando.

With respect.

Very sad news indeed. He was a regular contributor in this forum and had great knowledge especially in Iberian arms and armour. He shared his knowledge and material selflessly and will be greatly missed. So long my friend

Lee, thank you for posting this news. Very sad indeed. Fernando was very committed to EEWRS and devoted a lot of time and energy to the forums as a whole, but especially to the European Armoury for which he was the lead Moderator. His freely shared experience and helpful attitude will be greatly missed.

Fernando's contributions to this site helped make it an enjoyable experience for members and visitors. As a Moderator, he tactfully enforced the policies of the EEWRS site, and at the same time wanted people to understand why the "rules" existed and how this was for the benefit of all who come here.

RIP Fernando. You are greatly missed.
