My wife and I have only spent 1 week on AC this last November. As we were walking into Fido's one evening Paisano was walking out. He saw that my wife was wearing a knee brace and so showed us his knee brace and spent a minute sincerely commiserating with my wife about their shared injury and pain. At first I must admit that I took him for just another wino but he spoke so nice and with such true sympathy that my impression of him immediately changed and I felt a little ashamed for what I was originally thinking. "You can't judge a book by its cover." Right? Now I feel kind of privileged and blessed to have met him.

Truly a sad day indeed. San Pedro will not be the same without Paisano.

May he rest in peace.

If you loved Piasano or hated him we should all aspire in our lives to leave such an impact on the people around us when we are gone, may he forever live on in our memories.

klc, thanks for the picture, I just printed it and put it with the tape measure that he sold me on Friday.

May you have a good day too!!!! Quit your squawkin.

It's about Piasano, rest his soul.

gotta have a pet on the playground don't ya know..
Acknowledgement of any kind is better than none at all though.

That is why turtle you must try to understand that the animal shelter was not really made for the benefit of the animals. It was for the benefit of the playground..

HMM wonder what they do with all those potlickers in cozumel and cancun ???,

You obviously did not know Piasano, he chose to live his life the way he did because he did what he wanted to and answered to no one. He did have a place to sleep and he chose to sleep wherever he wished. The majority of my friends are local San Pedrano's and I had a long conversation with an elder San Pedrano last night, a person who had known him since the day he arrived and he talked of him with fondness not disdain. The San Pedrano's were the ones at his funeral not the gringos (with a few exceptions) or the tourists. The shame is on you.

well said Simon & NYG.....

and please use the pic for whatever purpose you please. I just think it is a wonderful portrait that captures his being.

Thx to Jesse too for using it in the SPD yesterday.

:rolleyes: Why is there ALWAYS "that guy"? :rolleyes:

Great photo klcman!

May he rest in peace.

Chris, you seem to know much about Paisano.

Tell us his true/real name.

Tell us about his life before Belize.

Cris, not sure you have made the correct connection here.
