Leonardo Favio Obituary
Argentine national film institute spokeswoman Susan Casais says Favio died Monday after suffering from chronic illnesses.
Favio was known for his romantic ballads, helping to establish a genre later filled by many Latin American crooners. He was a film star in the 1950s and 60s, and then fled into exile when Argentina's military dictatorship took over in 1976. Favio returned after democracy was restored and made films celebrating his hero, Gen. Juan Domingo Peron.
Favio's last film, titled "The Good People," celebrates Argentina's bicentennial as well as the current government, which he supported. A viewing was being held Monday night in Argentina's Senate in his honor.

I loved this man's voice. My mom played his record while she was pregnant with me and when I was a toddler I made her play it over and over. His songs still touch my heart today. Never has there been such romantic words, passion and love in a voice. I just love his music and always will. It doesn't get old and I am playing his music for my own children. He was so special but still lives in his music. I do hope to hear him sing live in heaven one day.

Leonardo Favio tuvo un gran impacto en mi vida con su canciones. Siento mucho su perdida. El vivira con su musica y sus canciones.

Lo siento por su pérdida y Le gustaría ofrecer mis condolencias a su familia. La muerte es una cosa tan terrible para una familia para ir a través, de hecho me perdí a mis 3 años atrás mamá. Estoy verdaderamente agradecido de que tengo la verdad sobre la muerte y mirar hacia el futuro, cuando habrá "una resurrección de Los justos y Los injustos."-Hechos 24:15. Estoy seguro de que Le encantaría ver a su ser querido fallecido de nuevo en el Paraíso de venir aquí en la tierra! Una vez más lo siento por su pérdida!

My heart goes out to you at this time. I am truly sorry for your loss. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Reading Psalms 121 is a very comforting scriptural passage. There you will find assurance of God's support as well. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
