e, 80 de mayo !: su clara inteligencla
Sc conservaba fntegra habfa recibi-
do los sacramentos de la Iglesia y
testado como buen cat6lico y buen
padre de familia. Su varonil ente-
reza no pudo resistir sin faquear la
presencia de I'm hijo y una hija ninos
que tenfa estudiando en- la Capital y
que acompanamos a su casa de Aqua
dilla. Las lagrimas brotaron arden
tes de sus demacrados ojos al consi-
derar que no podia vivir bastante
para completar la educacion y ell
porvenir de sus cinco queridos hijos,
va sin madre.
Hace mas de un a1o que los me-
dicos lie aconsejaban su traslacion a
Europa, augurandole que los aires
salutlferos de las montaiias de Astu-
rias, su pals natal, detendrlan la i'm
placable enfermedad que habla en-
pezado a minar su trabajada existen-
cia !; pero Sc neg6 a clio manifestan-
do que pesaban sobre el grandes de-
beres que cumplir que, hombre
honrado, no podia abandonar su
casa mercantil en- que estaba cifrada
la fortuna de sus hijos y su honor
y que entire ell deber y la vida ell de-
Der era 10 primero, Este pensamien-
to, que revela ell noble temple de
su alma, nos 10 repiti6 a nosotros
seis dias antes de morir.
Reguero era uno de esos seres mo-
destos, energicos 6 inteligentes que
Sc forman a ST mismos.
Hombre de talento natural. de
instruction mas que comun, de pro-
bidad acrisolada, de poderosa inicia-
tiva, de una laboriosidad extraordi-
maria, pues hasta las diez de la no,
che trabajaba en- su escritorio, de
patriotismo acendrado, de humanos
y gererosos sentimientos, no deja en-
su casa un dependiente que no lo
sienta como q un padre, nj uno sole
que por algun especial servicio nc
!e viva agradecido. AL principal dc
ellos, al inteligente y probo jover
ID. Felix Aramburu, ha dejado POI
tutor de sushijos, todos memories.
Prueba de las generates simpatfas
de que gozaba ell difunto fue la in
mensa concurrencia que asisti6 a
Viatico que ell Is le fue administra
do. No Sc recuerda otro tan brl
llante en- Aguadilla.
Acompanamos, pues, en- su juste
dolor a sus hijos y rogamos a Dio.
por "a salvacion del que hace allo'
venia siendo uno de nuestros ami
