It is hard to be talking about the passing of a good person who called himself Solid Pan here in DI. He was a German national who had bypass surgery before deciding to live here in Dumaguete with his new-found family from Siaton.
I came to know him because he was one of those who signed up and stayed to learn Bisaya until middle of March this year. When COVID-19 was at its peak mid March, he suggested that we take a break for everyone's safety. Three months after on June 3 I received a text message from his partner that he passed away. It was devastating. I am writing this post for those who know him.
