Guillermo's obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Guillermo de la Cruz, who passed away peacefully on March 21, 2023. Guillermo was born on July 6, 1931, and throughout his life, he was known for his love of family, Cuban culture, and independence.
Guillermo is survived by his loving daughters, María Isabel Vitulli, Ana Solarana, and María Teresa Fernández. He leaves behind an incredible legacy through his grandchildren: Cristina Perez, Angelica Perez, Alina Perez, Miguel Perez, Matthew Solarana, Alexis Solarana, and Jewelia Fernandez.
A Celebration of Life for Guillermo was held on April 18, 2023, at 2:00 PM at Crandon Park. Friends and family gathered to reminisce about his life and favorite activities, including sun bathing, watching musicals, visiting art galleries, and enjoying delicious camarones enchiladas from local Cuban restaurants.
Guillermo was a die-hard Dodgers fan and enjoyed playing the piano in his spare time. He was shy and often misunderstood as serious but Guillermo had a great laugh and surprising ticklishness. Guillermo was a retired computer programmer and a proud Cuban exile who mastered the art of the "Irish exit" at social gatherings.
Guillermo de la Cruz will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, and a friend to all who knew him. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and memories that will be cherished by his family and friends. He will be dearly missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.
