I went to St Mary s school with Raul from1960-69. He came to mind today after seeing someone with the name Salas on TV. May the Lord Bless him and keep him.

My deepest sympathies to the whole Salas family. I loved our evenings hanging out at The Light watching Javi pitch and Jorgie do the play by play. The PERFECT GAME thrown by Javi was five years ago yesterday. What a proud papa Raul was.
