Castellano

Roy nacio en Argentina el 19 de Febrero de 1930. Ha sido muy amado por su familia y amigos y siempre sera recordado por ellos. Un verdadero argentino, siempre adoro su pais, y trabajo su tierra y cuido a sus animales con el mayor respeto. SIn embargo, tambien mantuvo una curiosidad infinita y contagiosa acerca de su propio pais pero tambien acerca de otros lugares, personas, culturas e historias. Fue esta curiosidad en gran parte lo que lo mantuvo tan joven justo hasta su fallecimiento. Se lo extrana mucho en su pueblo natal, Ingeniero Luiggi, pues emanaba una energia saludable a cada lugar que iba. Yo lo extrano a la distancia desde Londres, y esta foto abrazando a mis dos hijos, es una referencia exacta a la mejor ultima memoria que tengo de el en su ultima visita a mi segundo pais, tambien la ultima vez que lo vi en persona.


Extracto de un poema de Henry Scott Holland

'Yo soy yo y vos sos vos, lo que fuimos para cada uno es lo que aun somos.
Hablame en el modo facil en el que siempre me hablaste.
Porque debo estar fuera de tu mente simplemente porque no podes verme mas?
La vida significa aun todo lo que siempre significo, es la misma vida que siempre fue.'


English

Roy was born in Argentina on February 19, 1930. He is much loved and will always be remembered by all his friends and family. A true Argentinian, he always loved his country and worked the land and raised livestock with the utmost respect. However, he always also maintained an open and contagious curiosity not only about his own country, but also about other places, people, cultures and histories. It was this curiosity what maintained him so young right up to his passing. He is missed in Ingeniero Luiggi, his home town, since he emanated a healthy energy wherever he went. I miss him a lot from afar in London, and this picture shows clearly the best memory I have of him,hugging my two sons from his most recent visit to the UK, my second country, which was also the last time I saw him in person.

Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Thoughts

I knew Roy as 'Carina's Dad' before I knew Roy. But when I visited the family home in Ingeniero Luiggi, I knew I had met a person who gave me the warmest of welcomes with the minimum of fuss, taking me into his home and giving me a real feel for life in his home patch. I was so glad to see Roy in the UK, enthusiastically taking part in the chaotic life of a London tourist and really being the kind leader of the trusty tribe. But, for me, he will always be the proud person who cared about his home, the land and, of course, his lovely family. Version en castellano traducida por Carina Conoci a Roy como el 'papa de Carina' antes de concerlo como Roy. Pero cuando visite su casa de familia en Ing Luiggi supe que habia conocido a una persona que me dio la mas calida bienvenida sin el menor problema, invitandome a su casa y dandome una experiencia autentica de la vida en su lugar del mundo. Me alegro tanto ver a Roy en el Reino Unido, participando entusiasmado del caos de la vida del turista londinense y siendo el lider amable de su tribu fiel. Pero para mi, Roy siempre sera la persona orgullosa que cuido de su hogar, su tierra y por cierto su encantadora familia.
