Oh My God - that is the strangest reporting I have ever heard. Very fishy.
Could they be more tainted about this guy? The words "quiet man" would have been enough. But it is a bit disrespectful if not deliberately tail wagging dog to call him:
living in the shadow
creature... of habbit
stingy
the umbrella in a corner
"we don't ask what he does in the hotel one night a month"... then much later in the article - he was alone in the hotel. So duh maybe he sleeps there because the 5 hour commute is a pain when he has a monthly doctors appt. geez
his daughters love him... but one can't remember if he called on her birthday the day before.. uh - she's in her 30s and lots of people call a day or so late for a bday. it's not a crime. certainly not a reason to think he did something wrong in his disappearance.
very weird reporting. it's like the reporter was trying to make this guy look especially bad and sad and unworthy. that seemed unnecessary. he was at IBM and then a vp of citibank on wall street. but in the beginning they say he was the lawn mower? and like a house husband. huh???
they try to make it sound like he used the mayor like a meal ticket to bring his cuban family to the US. but they have 3 kids and have been married for 40 years - hardly a greencard wedding.
he let her stay near home where she is mayor and a teacher and he had a grueling commute. but they make it sound like that makes him weak and weird. I think it makes him sound nice and loving and considerate.
very strange article. tainted to make people discredit, dislike or disregard him for some reason.
now that is interesting. why do they have to do that???? They could have just had a nice family obit piece with respect for the man and his family.
