My heart is filled with sorrow upon hearing that Evelio has passed on... he was an amazing man, intelligent, kind,driven, selfless and always loving. He was far more then my fathers & mothers dear friend, he was family. No matter how old I got, every time I would see him I was greeted with a huge smile and him saying " There's my baby" followed by a warm & loving hug... He will be forever missed and loved by us all...We are all blessed for having him in our lives... May God bless & keep him always...

Evelio and I were friends and fellow authors. Amazon will package both our books for a special price, and we talked of doing a joint tour. I met him in the early 90s, at his sister Sylvia's funeral in Tampa. She was my main collaborator in gathering the story of Afro-Cuban cigarmaker/revolutionists in Tampa. She spoke often of Evelio; she was so proud of his accomplishments. When I read his book manuscript, I understood what she meant. His book is a wonderful contribution and his life even more so. I will miss him a lot.

Just heard of Evelio's passing today. As your neighbor at Old Town Square - 555 Tenth Street, Oakland, I missed you when you relocated. But, I am most grateful for the time we shared, the pleasure of your intellect in great conversation and your presence, which inspired many of us. I will always remember how proud you and we were on the publication of your autobiography and the author signing in the community room. Condolences to your family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Grillo and read his book years ago. What a loss to the community. I would have loved to talk to him about my trip to
Cuba last spring
