Ramón C. Barquín

Jean, I just saw Ramon's obituary. I've lost a dear friend even after so many years of little contact.

Ramon was a dear friend at the Cosmos Club and I am heart broken to learn about his death. We had planned to have lunch to discuss scheduling the speaker he had highly recommended to the Cosmos Club International Affairs Committee. Ramon hosted me along with a few friends at the Cosmos Club, which was my first lunch at the Club in the 1990s. He was a perfect gentleman who will be dearly missed. He was one of my heroes. My deepest condolences to his family. May God give them the strength...

My deepest condolences to the entire family. As part of the Atlantic University family, we will always enjoy his legacy. Rest in peace.

Ramón was an extraordinary individual: intellectual, intelligent, practical, social, wise, a patriot, humble, a great family man (including his parents), and a great friend. I had the great pleasure and blessing of knowing him for almost 55 years since we were in graduate school at MIT and always was deeply impressed by his virtues. All the people who knew him will miss him in our lives.
