Que en paz descanse.

My family members on my mom's side are all huge Antonio Aguilar fans. I think it's the Zacatecano in them.

My dad being from Zacatecas loved Antonio Aguilar and is deeply sadden by his death. My pops is 66 and commented that he recalled watching Antonio Aguilar in movies since my dad was 8, due the math. Let's be grateful that we got to see a Mexican living legend as I wished I would have lived to see Jose Alfredo Jimenez. With his death he now stamps in the heart of all Mexicana the seal of a true Legend and the pride of Mexico. QUE VIVA ANTONIO AGUILAR EL CHARRO DE MEXICO.

Thanks for all the great music and films.
