Dear Friends, another milonguero and dear friend left us... Eduardo Aguirre!
un abrazo Patricia Muller www.kidojo.it (some films with him under: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=eduardo+aguirre+tango+apilado&aq=f) here something written by Rob - Amsterdam: Eduardo, a true and very respected Argentinian milonguero, has died. All the sudden, on midday, April 8, at home in Amsterdam. "Me voy" he said to Yvonne, when he felt that his heart was about to fail him. He was taken to hospital for treatment, but there again he said: "Me voy" and, indeed, he left this world during the treatment. After they met in Buenos Aires, 20 years ago in tango salon Almagro, he and Yvonne Meissner became friends, later dance partners, lovers and partners in life. Eduardo is the beloved father of his children in Argentina, and for many of us, a great friend, tango teacher, tango singer, world traveller, the best pulpo cook, and once a great soccer player. Eduardo was already 72 years of age, but still a strong and vivid man and an energetic dancer. As if he knew what was about to happen, the past days Eduardo himself has been visiting milongas in various cities, like Amsterdam, Nijmegen and Arnhem, to dance and sing till his very last night. It's not yet comprehensable that we have to say 'goodbye, so long', and let him go to where we not yet can reach him. Untill then, he'll be missed dearly. Say goodbye to Eduardo Those who want to say goodbye to Eduardo are very welcome to come to the funeral home Uitvaartcentrum 'Spierings, Kok & Lemkes', Zandpad 3 A, (post code 1054 GA) Amsterdam (a lane at the righthand side of the main entrance of Vondelpark), on Sunday, April 11, 2010, between 16:00 and 18:00 hrs. or Monday, April 12, 2010, between 18:00 and 19.30 hrs. There'll be tangomusic to dance on, because Eduardo wanted his friends to keep dancing under any circumstances. Later he'll be cremated and Yvonne and Eduardos relatives will bury his ashes in Argentina, 'su tierra querida'.
