Family of Maurice Solana, Jr.: I remember going to your family home for a Solana family reunion with my grandfather, Louis Solana, who was a brother to Maurice Solana, Sr. There was all kinds of great Minorcan food like Chicken Pilau, Gopher Stew, Clam Chowder and lots of desserts. I've known him my whole life and am sorry to hear of his passing. Unfortunately, we will be out of town on the day of his funeral service and will not be able to attend. Peace & Love, Jim and Diane Solana
