… thé last Time I danced with Roberto, was at Obelisco tango.It was a tanda of valses . He surprised me dancing with so much energy.
At thé end of thé tanda, Roberto asked me : “te mareaste?”… I had to recognize it and I answered (ashamed) : “yes!”.
I saw in his eyes hé was happy of my answer.
Then Hé smiled and laughed…

I received a phone call today from Roberto’s ex-girlfriend of many years, Olga Gomez. She went to his house for his address book so she could call his friends when she felt able to do so. She told me that Roberto was not feeling well on his birthday. Marta Fama (whose milonga he attended at Salon Rodriguez) went to see him at home. Roberto was out of breath and unable to walk. He was in a geriatric a short time and then finally in a hospital for his last three days. Olga said that all his family members lived to be 98 years old, and Roberto was no exception.
