People like José never die! He truly was one in a billion, and I will always be thankful for the idea he provided when I was asking for a possible topic of my PhD research. Actually, he helped me shape the title of my thesis!
This is what he wrote to me, among other things:
"Many movie actresses in the US have been successively labeled "America's sweetheart". You are probably "Macedonia's dream translator"."
I will go beyond his statement, and call him "wo... See more People like José never die! He truly was one in a billion, and I will always be thankful for the idea he provided when I was asking for a possible topic of my PhD research. Actually, he helped me shape the title of my thesis!

| Very surprised by this news | Dec 18, 2018 |
Not long ago we crossed paths in a forum and as always he was very open and willing to contribute with his knowledge and insights. A pity. La mala hierba nunca muere, lástima que la buena muera tan joven.

I found it peculiar that I hadn't seen him comment on anything in the last month or so because he was always a very active member in this community. As a Portuguese translator myself I always appreciated his contributions and his feedback. I even found myself reading some of his older posts from years back because they aged well and offered advice that was still useful today. We've definitely lost a role model on what it was to be a professional translator.

I’m utterly shocked. José and his warm and friendly smile and thoughtful comments were like a comfort blanket on these pages, one of those stabilising elements in a chaotic universe you expect to be around forever. And then suddenly gone. I’m speechless. So sad.
Condolences to his loved ones.

I found it odd that José hadn't contributed to a recent thread about Infix (which I learned about thanks to him), or anywhere else recently, so I searched his name here to see whether he'd left the site.
But I didn't expect that.
Although I didn't know him, I have always enjoyed reading his very articulate posts, even the longer ones (!), and I am very sad that this site has lost such a valuable contributor.
Sincere condolences to his friends and family.
