The Arnum and Bolden family would like to express our deepest condolences to the Agudo family for the tremendous loss of "Big Brother" Rafael. Rafael was the "Love Ambassador" of Meriden CT. He loved everyone. No matter where he went he always had a big "smile" and loved to greet you no matter where you came in contact with him. In a sense, Rafael was the true "Mayor" of Meriden CT. Rafael will truly be missed and I know that GOD has his perfect "welcoming angel" that will be waiting for us if we are so lucky to make it to the Holy of Holy places. R.I.P Rafael and thank you for being a loving person that you were to me, my family, and to many others throughout your life.
