Albert Dominguez – A tribute

Albert Dominguez was born in Uraguay, where he was South American cycling champion, and moved to Australia in the 70′s. He worked for Quantas for many years and was married with four children. He died on Flight 11, on 11th September 2001.

Albert was a loved and proud man, gentle and caring, a good friend, a loving family man, honest, happy and hard-working. He was a leading part of the Spanish community in Sydney, hosting a Spanish music radio show. He is missed by his family and friends.

 

The Angels

And so they leave, it seems,

Without acknowledging the pain they leave behind

These scars that can’t be healed

This loss too great to bear

 

So many words left unsaid

Feeling stranded from the past that shaped our lives

Memories that cannot, now, be shared

Fears that may never see the light

 

And in our naiveté and hope,

We turn to thoughts of heaven, the comfort that, somehow,

They’re watching over,

Guiding thoughts and deeds

 

But the path is ours to choose

To nurture life to come, to return the love received

To be guided by the angels we have created,

To find our way back to those we have lost.
