    I'm very sad to share the news that our friend, colleague, and longtime ALA councilor Roberto Delgadillo died this past Sunday. 
    He will be very much missed

    Colleagues- 

      

    I am very sad to inform you that Roberto Delgadillo passed last night. He struggled with significant health issues over the past months, but they proved overwhelming.  

      

    I assured Robin that she and the family have our love and hopes for peace. Many of us were close colleagues and friends of Roberto, and to you all, please also have my condolences.  

      

    Of course, we will share more information-including what we can do-when we can.  

      

    Please take care of yourselves and each other.  

      

    Bill Garrity  

      

     I appreciate your response if indicated, but please do so within your working hours

    I am devastated that we will not benefit from his unique experiences and wisdom. 

    RIP, Roberto.

    Oh no. I will dearly miss Robert's dedication to librarianship and his wry humor. My heart goes out to his wife, Robin. This is a great loss to our profession.

    Apologies, Roberto , not Robert. I was typing too fast.
