Lupe De Leon

I thought I knew jazz, playing a silly trombone in high school and by listening to LPs from the 30-50s. Then I met Lupe. After a few funny wines, he would say I was an idiot and should go back to school to learn something, since I clearly knew nothing about music. But we enjoyed our love of humorous wines, beautiful boats, and loving friendships.

We enjoyed a dinner he cooked (I brought the serious wine) the week before his last walk with Jett, and we've enjoyed every fine dinner...

Lupe was a force of nature. My condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed by many.
