PEREZ-HEYDRICH, Carlos Miguel, 91, born in Matanzas, Cuba, passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 3, 2017 after a short illness.

His passions were travel, sailing his boat, making wine and visiting great grandchildren. And for that, he was ever thankful to his parents, Sarah his wife of 65 years, family and God for a full and wonderful life.
