In memory of Omar Parra Rozo

Abstract

Omar Antonio Parra Rozo (1957-2016) was a man of tremendous heart, prodigious memory, and amazing intelligence. Tireless reader, dedicated writer, educator and researcher and, above all, an example of life. I always admired his generosity, simplicity, and creativity that embodied in his writings and his classes; his kindness in dealing with people, his prudence in handling stressful situations and his tireless desire to help. He stood out in the labor, educational and social settings for his chivalry, his responsibility, commitment and good humor. He kept the idea of preserving children's abilities, being surprised at the world and amazed at the smallest details around them.
