José Eduardo Arias Rodríguez of the city of San Jose, Costa Rica, died on July 23 in his hometown. He was 83 years old.
Mr. Arias Rodríguez, who used to be a member of the Costa Rican Institute of Electricity for a period of 20 years, loved to play the guitar. He liked delighting his friends and relatives with romantic songs and amusing himself arranging electrical gadgetry, playing checker, and enjoying soccer matches of his team Herediano.
Widow of Margarita, to whom he dedicated his life and from whom he received full happiness, was a man of very few words but they said a lot.
“Although he was a man of few words, he shared his knowledge with his children and grandchildren,” said his granddaughter Marcela Arias, a resident of Hayward, Calif.
His children survive, Ann, Edwin, Héctor (in Spain), Miguel (in the USA), Macho, William and Oscar, in addition to 17 grandsons.
The personnel of El Reportero sends its most sincere condolence to the mourning family, but especially to his granddaughter Marcela, collaborator of this newspaper.
