Hola Adolfo, me acuerdo mucho de tí. Ya son dos años. Un abrazo muy grande mío y de mi familia. Y un abrazo para todos los tuyos. También para tu padre, que seguro está compartiendo muchas cosas contigo.

Gone to soon!    You will be remembered! 

Hola Adolfo, ya ha pasado un año. Te seguimos recordando con cariño. Mi deseo es en algún momento poder ir a tu Canadá querida y aunque ya no estés físicamente para poder darte un abrazo, sí lo verás en la distancia desde donde estés.

Un abrazo para ti y para toda tu familia

Hello Adolfo, a year has already passed. We continue to remember you fondly. My wish is at some point to be able to go to your beloved Canada and even if you are no longer physically there to be able to give you a hug, you will see it in the distance from wherever you are.

A hug to you and to all your family

Adolfo played soccer with the Brothers in Pointe-Claire and we all remember his competitive side coupled with a great sense of humor and camaraderie. We shared many "cervezas" and good stories after our games. I was shocked to hear the news of his passing.

I send my deepest condolences to  the family.

Mauro Degano & all his soccer buddies.

I feel honoured to have known Adolfo since my childhood.

He was, as my sister Ani and I always said:  The son our Dad never had.

Adolfo played hockey as a young “lad” and our Dad would swing by  “l’Aréna Père-Marquette” to watch him play. 

As we entered our teenage years, we would cross paths with Adolfo at Spanish social gatherings.
But it was not until University that Ani and I began spending more time with Adolfo.
Our parents were always happy and relieved when we mentioned that Adolfo would drive us home or Adolfo was accompanying us.

He was to keep an eye on the Toribio sisters, which he always did.

Thank you.

Dear Adolfo, you left this world too soon.

We will miss your laughter, whimsical wit, generosity and your watchful eye.

Rest In Peace our Adolfo.


Such a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man.  Looking through the pictures and the many heartfelt messages of condolences, one can clearly see how Adolfo brought so much joy and love to his family and friends.
It really saddens us to know that his life ended so suddenly.
Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to you, Amaya, Iñaki and family.  They say grief changes shape over time and we pray that you are always comforted by the wonderful memories of your much loved Adolfo. Your loss is deeply felt.
Anna and Mark  xo

Dear family of Adolfo,  Your treasured husband and father will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure to know him, including his work family who are still trying to process his sudden passing. May you find some comfort in the support you receive from friends, family, and colleagues, the knowledge of what a special person Adolfo was who touched so many in different ways, and in the wonderful memories you shared together as a family.    Rest in peace, dear Adolfo, you will not be forgotten


Dear Raqui, It’s been a long time, so my memories are of you and Adolfo just starting your life together.  I am both glad for the wonderful life you created together and devastated for your unexpected loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. 

Adolfo, every conversation we had ended up with a joke or something cheerful that always put a smile on my face. Such a thoughtful and valuable colleague. You will be missed. Rest in peace. 

Adolfo or tiooooooo    as I used to call him back in 2010...he was at RBC and I at Terra Futuros in Brazil .We became good pals right off the bat...visited him in Ny and Montreal ..chatted thousands of hours about business in  latam and his love for  family and children and the crazy temperatures  in Canada 
A prominent character at the Exchange well respected and dear to many .His fun personality will be missed for years as he was a solid reference in Canada and one of my dearest friends in the industry . My condolences to family .....lo siento en el alma
Alejandro de Argentina

Every picture posted here conveys the love you had for your family.  You were truly a Giant of a man.
Thank you for the daily conversations and laughter we shared over the last 5 years.  Your presence will be sadly missed.  May you rest in peace.


Adolfo went out of his way in my early days working with the RBC Futures team to provide me much needed background.  His positive outlook for the future was infectious and we stayed industry friends over the years.    

My dearest Raquel,

I'm so deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved, Adolfo. My heartfelt condolences goes out  to you,  Amaya, Iñaki and family. You are in my thoughts and  know that  I will be praying for God's supernatural comfort, strength and courage through this time of incredible pain and sorrow. Adolfo, may you rest in peace in the loving arms of the Lord.  Marisa 

Dear Adolfo, you will be greatly missed by everyone . You were a great father , husband , friend , son and outstanding brother to my dear friend Elena. Keep shining and guiding your family from above . Say hi to my beautiful sister, Amal xxx

I met Adolfo over 20 years ago now, in Madrid.  A wonderful and kind man, he will always be part of my enduring memories of those carefree and exciting times in Spain.  While Raquel and I, along with our classmates, battled through our MBAs he was always there - patient, helpful, funny, charming and generous.  So many good times and I loved hanging out with the Sastron-Navarrete gang - Adolfo, Raq and Elena, it was like having a home from home.  Adolfo was also actually a bit of a sage to us - he seemed older and much wiser, perhaps because he had already seen the sharp end of business at the Seville Expo, and so was very tolerant of our endless college dramas and deadlines....thank you for that dear A.

My one regret is that I never made it to Montreal to visit him, Raq and the family, and I haven't yet got to know Amaya and Inaki - however I know Adolfo will always burn brightly within both their souls, and through them a part of him will still be with us.  His  passing is a loss to us all - but an inspiration of how to lead the best life. May you be at peace Adolfo, with the knowledge that you were truly loved by all those whose lives you touched.  

As everyone , I am still in some sort of daze of all this….the last few years prior to all this covid ….I always remembered around my birthday in January that we would have a birthday dinner out to celebrate Adolfo’s, Aurelio,s and mine…..Adolfo was always soft spoken and really just  a genuine nice person never a negative thing to say about anyone,  last time I saw him was at our mutual friends Carols birthday party…he spoke to me about his kids and how he was just trying to make sure they move thé right path through life…all I can say is if they listened to surely thé wise words he shared with them , they will be ok

I remember fondly the Christmas times for children where I met your lovely partner and the kids. Back then we were working in the same office and there we also shared precious moments. 

Hola Adolfo, estés donde estés, soy tu amigo de Mataró, de Barcelona, de Quinzano, .... . Estoy muy bloqueado con esta situación, nunca se espera algo así. Es cierto que hacía mucho que no sabía de ti, perdimos el contacto. Con Elena y tus padres nos habíamos visto en alguna ocasión por Quinzano, pero también ya hace años. De todas formas siempre te recuerdo y te recordaré. Siempre en casa les decía a mi mujer (Asun) y a mis hijos (Marco y Lorién): ¡Un año iremos a conocer Canadá, tenemos unos amigos allí....!. Todavía guardo la camiseta de hockey de Canadá y la equipación de los Lakers de tu estancia en Mataró ya hace muchos años. Toda mi familia (mi padre Pepe, mi madre MªÁngel, mi mujer y mis hijos os mandamos un abrazo a todos, a Raquel, a Adolfo, a MªLuisa, a Elena, y a tus hijos. Y también para tu familia política y para todos tus más allegados. Descansa en paz Adolfo. Hasta siempre. 

Dear Adolfo, now that you have suddenly and incomprehensibly left us, after reading the innumerable messages from your friends honoring your memory, I realize that magnificent boy I knew forged an admirable personality, becoming an endearing and widely loved person, having in a permanent good humor and a sweet smile two of your main weapons of conquest for those who knew you. Now more than ever I feel proud and fortunate to have been part of your friends, what makes that fortune turn into misfortune and love into pain. 
All the strength and love for Raquel, Amaya, Iñaqui, Elena and your parents Adolfo and Maria Luisa, we will all miss this fabulous man.


One of the most important moments of my life was when on August 1, 1982 I had just arrived in Montreal and fate wanted that we could meet, without knowing each other at all, your wonderful family offered me their home, all of you opening the door of your heart. That day I was an extremely lucky person, and you Adolfo, who was 15 years old at the time, you were my first friend in Canada.
 I was lucky to live with the best hosts in the world, whom I still consider my family today, the deep feelings that were born then, survive today and always will. Adolfo, you took care of being my guide and my teacher in my beginnings of that new country, you taught me many things with your genuine and I learned that your frankness, generosity, nobility and so many other qualities that already then your personality gave off, they were precious values ​​that you adopted naturally, always illuminated also with your sincere and spontaneous smile.
I have infinite memories, among the best when we played and enjoyed ourselves in a indoor footbal team and your father took us to play every game on Sundays, you were also a good ice hockey player and you tried to teach me how to skate, but my clumsiness for that sport only allowed me little more than to stay on my feet. I also remember some getaways to Jarry Park or Mont Royal Park in winter, to enjoy the snow, Friday visits to the Spanish Club of Quebec or the traditional excursions when maple syrup was produced and together with your family we were going to eat in a traditional restaurant in the Quebec countryside, enjoying those sticks dipped in syrup that we then introduced in the snow turning them into natural ice cream. So many memories and so beautiful...
I will never stop remembering you, I will do it with that natural smile that illuminated you, my dear soul brother. 
I join the immense pain of all your family, I still don't understand why damn injustice destiny always snatches the lives of the best firts



Dear Raquel, Inaki, Amaya,
I’m  so sorry to hear about your family’s loss…
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved Adolfo
Our thoughts & prayers are with you & your family… at this most difficult and sad time. 

They say… 
When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. 
May you keep all your wonderful memories close to your hearts .
Rita, Dimitri Malandrakis Family 


Querida familia, nuestras más sentidas condolencias en estos momentos de profunda tristeza. La familia Eder Toribio

Dear Adolfo,

I am deeply saddened by your passing. We may not have seen each other often, usually at one of Carol and Rocco's parties, but every time I saw you I enjoyed your company. You always struck me as a smart and decent man. Softspoken and humble. A good family man.                                                                                                                                                          I watched your video tribute. It was incredibly touching. I was moved to tears. You are loved more than you will ever know. You will be eternally missed by those you left behind. May you rest in peace my friend. 
And to dear Raquel, Amaya, Inaki, family and many friends. How I wish I had some words that can bring you some comfort in this incredibly tragic moment. I can only offer you my deepest condolences. Although Adolfo may no longer be with us in body, he is most certainly with us in soul, and his spririt will always be nearby.

Sending love and prayers,

Paul 

It was a beautiful service. Our thoughts are with you, and we wish you strength and serenity. Rest in peace Adolfo. Vince & Anna

Dear Adolfo, 
You have left so many of us broken-hearted. It will never make sense.
You must be so proud of the strength Raquel, Amaya, Elena & Inaki found yesterday as they delivered such beautiful messages about you.
You knew how to make everyone feel important, respected and comfortable. You listened to people and you heard them. I will miss hearing you always say "I see", which signaled that you had heard what was shared with you.  We will miss your indecipherable text messages which we refer to as "Adolfo Speak" as we passed the phone around hoping one of us could understand what you were trying to type.
We laughed our faces off A LOT! But after 14 years, we could all also sit in silence and be comfortable on the beach, in the backyard and in the living room. 
We shared more than a few drinks, dinners, vacations, soccer moments, ideas regarding the kids, schools, sports and of course, teasing Raquel. 
You were a family man beyond family men - You knew how to calm a storm and how to meet everyone's needs. You loved Amaya, Inaki & Raqui and the whole family, immensely. There was nothing more important.
How life just changed so drastically, so quickly. Thank Goodness we had been together just hours before, for one last dinner, one last glass of wine and for you & Pete, one last whisky and ping pong match - Which you won...
We will miss you Adolfo. You were so good. We all got your family, they are not alone. You created beautiful relationships and they will be here forever. Peter, Laurie, Holly, MaKye & Skyla

Dear Raquel, Elena, Amaya, Iñaki, señor y señora Sastron, what a beautiful farewell and celebration of honouring a great husband, father, brother, son, friend and man.  I thought the simple minds song was a nice tribute and honestly made me smile because all I could picture was Adolfo playing air bass guitar and dancing while looking down at all of us.  We will miss you

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.“


Dear Raquel,
My heart goes out to you and your beautiful family.   The photos that I just viewed represented a wonderful life lived by a happy family.  I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Love, strength and courage to you, Amaya and Inaki.
Catherine Jones,

Quelle belle cérémonie! Merci de nous avoir permis d'y assister de loin.
De beaux témoignages d'amour,  de tendresse, d'unité,  de partage. Beau recueil de photos. Tout est l'image de votre belle petite famille.  Je vous aime beaucoup et vous souhaite force , courage et paix dans le dur cheminement à venir.
En toute amitié, 
Louise Côté 

Today I said farewell to my friend with whom we have shared so many great experiences. While life got in the way in recent years, I am blessed to have the memories of Adolfo in my life.

Our friendship blossomed from the early days of playing Hockey in his basement, to 6 am pick up hockey, to sharing experiences in Lisbon and Sevilla, to most recently building memories with our respective families.

Adolfo cherished his family and friends. He was full of joy and loved to have a good time. Through Adolfo, I became familiar with Churros and Chocolate, exposed to the passion for Spanish soccer, U2 and someone named Brian Ferry. 

It was a beautiful ceremony today and witnessing how proud Raquel, Amaya and Inaki were of Adolfo – the husband, father, son brother and friend. In turn, I know Adolfo is smiling with pride at his wife and his two beautiful children.

Rest in peace my friend. As the song goes, we won’t forget about you.

Filipe and family


Très belle cérémonie! Mes plus sincères condoléances à Raquel et les enfants. Adolfo peut être très fier de ses enfants. Ils lui ont livré deux vibrants témoignages.

Dear Raquel, Elena, Iñaki and Amaya, your words about Adolfo during the ceremony were beautiful. He touched so many people in different ways. You were all very fortunate to have Adolfo as a Husband, Brother and Father ..cherish the memories of him , as he will be with you in Spirit forever. He will be missed. 

Dear Raquel, Amaya and Iñaki
Thank you for sharing so many beautiful personal stories during a warm and generous service, painting a picture of Adolfo, a man loved so dearly. From our family to yours, we are moved by the strength of your love and humour and hope that you will find peace, comfort and joy.  
With Love 
Mariella and Robert  

As is the case for many of Adolfo's colleagues today, I remain in shock and saddened at the sudden loss of our dear friend. Adolfo was a kind and gentle soul that we will miss wholeheartedly, especially his family stories. From his children's successes in swimming and soccer, to his wife's temperament while driving, he was always able to put a smile on your face. We are all better off for having known him. To his family: be well so that you may remember and honour him. Rest in peace Adolfo.

Dear Raquel and family, 

Sending our sincere condolences to you and your family.   Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.
Marissa and Dan 



Raquel, Amaya, Iñaki, Anoro, Adolfo senior and Elena, my deepest condolences. Adolfo always had a way with his words and analogies that put a smile on everyone’s face. His lightheartedness and laughter could make anyone's day better.  Adolfo, you will certainly be missed. Rest in peace. 

Cher Adolfo, c'est avec tant de tristesse que j'ai appris ton départ trop hâtif.  Je n'en aurai pas eu l'opportunité, mais je te remercie, bien que tard, pour ton support, ta patience et ton calme imperturbable durant toutes ces années  partagées à la CDCC. 

Mes pensées vont bien sûr à vous, sa famille qui doit faire le deuil aujourd'hui d'un être très spécial.  

Les mots offrent peu de réconfort dans un tel context, mais veuillez accepter mes plus sincères condoléances. 

Marlène Charron-Geadah


It was a beautiful ceremony. My condolences to the family in this difficult time. My prayers and thoughts are with you.


My sincere condolences and peace at this time of sorrow ,
Love 
Nora Sablich 

Adolfo,Maria Luisa, Elena  , Raquel , Amaya, y Iñaki

No existen palabras para describir lo mucho que lamentamos la pérdida de Adolfo.
No hay dudas de que su ausencia se sentirá, pero es sólo una sensación porque siempre estará con nosotros en nuestros corazones.

Nuestra más sinceras condolencias 

Raquel y Enrique

La première fois qu’on s’est rencontré c’était au travail chez RBC Marchés des Capitaux. Quelle belle équipe on avait dans le département.  Adolfo toujours très fier de sa nationalité me taquinait puisque le Chili faisait partie des conquêtes espagnoles en Amérique du Sud.  Je lui disait qu’on avait mis dehors le conquistador à coup de pieds!!!  Mais, cela ne s’arrêtais pas là.  Pour le « Mundial » de football, je gageais toujours contre l’équipe espagnole (et Adolfo évidemment!) et je ne pourrais jamais oublier la raclée que j’ai eu lors que l’Espagne a gagné la coupe en 2010.  Ils ont gagné six parties consécutives. Ouch!  
Repose en paix Adolfo.  Mes condoléances les plus sincères à la famille.        


Two weeks have now passed and we are still in disbelief.  Not a day has gone by without us thinking about Adolfo's wonderful smile, the great times we shared together and how we wished that we had had the chance to get to know him better.  I found an old email regarding a Loyola dance from a few years ago were I was describing Raquel and Adolfo to people who did not know them, "I am so happy they joined our table, they are always lots of fun. "  I believe that sums up how we felt about Adolfo, we are ALWAYS happy to see him and we ALWAYS had a good time together.  Adolfo was the epitome of the family man, his love and dedication for Raquel, Amaya and Iñaki were obvious.  Our deepest condolences to the entire family.  Adolfo will be greatly missed.  

Adolfo was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He was a calm and soft-spoken person  with a unique kindness and witty sense of humour. He will be remembered for his impeccable fashion sense,  (he redefined the preppy polo shirt and pullover ensemble), his trademark smile, and his love for everything Spanish. He leaves a huge void in the hearts of all those who were lucky to have known him.  RIP, Adolfo. You are so deeply missed. 😢

Adolfo Sastron was great colleague and friend.  I had the pleasure of working alongside Adolfo everyday the last couple of years. Whenever I was faced with various difficulties, he had a way of helping and guiding me to overcome any obstacles I had faced. We shared many laughs together and it was always a pleasure working with him on various assignments. He will surely be missed, although rest assured he will always be remembered. I wish my sincerest condolences to Raquel, Amaya, Iñaki and the rest of the family. Rest in peace Adolfo. - Anthony Koury


There are no words but love & prayers for you Raquel, Amaya , Inaki, Elena and your family . Prayers for strength ,  love and support from all your dear friends and family. 
 We will always remember Adolfo with his sweetest smile … with a side of Witt and charm . His great sense of humour , his calm demeanor and just a great man !  
  The strong love you all shared with Adolfo remains with you all and he will continue  to Guide you and be with you all always. ❤️
Be safe , be well and you know it’s ok to not be strong 100% of the time. Allow yourselves the grieving process, it’s healing.

Thinking of you all always ❤️🙏🏼
Eleni & Sandy. Katrina & Nicholas

Our sincerest condolences.  Our thoughts are with you.

I had heard of a man named “Adolfo Sastron” that worked in the financial sector. His name always came up, whether directly in conversation or indirectly when I would see it pop up in emails I was involved in. I often asked myself “who is this man with such a uniquely intriguing name??”. Then, many years later, I finally got the answer, as he and I began working together on the same team, and I can truly and honestly say, the uniqueness of the name matched the uniqueness of this man. Sure, Adolfo was an exceptional colleague, always so professional, knowledgeable and courteous, but to me, what stood out the most was his candor, genuineness, brutal honesty and infectious smile and laughter. We sat next to each other in the office, and every now and then, I would hear him speaking to someone in the way Adolfo does - with quick witted banter and the frequent “Adolfo-isms” thrown in to the mix. Those always made me smile, and will always continue to do so…
Adolfo - you were somewhat of a work mentor to me, having joined the team a few years ago and needing to “learn the ropes”, you were always there when I needed your input, or even simply for a quick chat. You taught me a lot, and more so, you were a great colleague and friend. I will forever be grateful for having met you. Rest In Peace, amigo.
To Raquel, Amaya & Iñaki and all of the Sastron/Navarrete families, my sincerest and heartfelt condolences to you all. I hope you find comfort in the knowledge that Adolfo’s spirit will continue to live on in many of us. May his memory be eternal!

Our dear Adolfo, we will miss you. Miss your presence and miss your friendship. Miss you at the soccer field and miss how you mothered our boys you affectionally nicknamed “M2” and my God will we miss your text messages “hello…it’s Adolfo”. We will forever associate the word “Ragazzi!” with your voice. And no one will ever be allowed to deliver a one liner joke again – you owned it. 

You were taken too early from us all. We had hoped to grow old together and retire with you guys in the “friends townhouse compound” Raquel was planning to hook us all up with. Until we see you again, don’t worry, we’ll watch over them for you. 
Jean & Dino, Daniele (the original “M”) and Emma. xoxo


Querida familia, 
No existen palabras para expresar cuanto siento el fallecimiento de vuestro querido Adolfo. Por razones que nunca comprenderemos, Adolfo se fue de nuestras vidas dejando a las personas que él más quería; pero nunca se escapará de vuestros corazones. Después de las lágrimas quedarán todos los buenos momentos que compartisteis con él.
Adolfo era una persona excepcional, siempre amable, atento y dispuesto a ayudar. Para mi siempre fue una alegría verle con esa sonrisa tan dulce que tenía.
Mi familia y yo os acompañamos en vuestro dolor y os mandamos un fuerte abrazo con todo nuestro cariño.  


  Remembering Adolfo as early as 1st grade, he was always a fun loving guy! We’ve had so many wonderful memorable moments throughout our lives. From hanging out in my parent’s basement  to new year’s parties at his house. 

Adolfo was a modern day Cary Grant… charming, good looking, looked great in a suit, debonair, funny and yes loved to act goofy too! 

I will never forget there was one line from the movie Princess Bride he would love to say and act… He would get into character with and say it with a Spanish accent… 
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!” The laughs we had!!! 

Oh Adolfo you will be sorely missed and will remember you by so many wonderful moments. 

Thinking of you all Raquel, Amaya, Iñaki, the Sastron and Navarrete family. Thinking of you and my sincerest condolences to you all. ❤️ XOX


I worked briefly with Adolfo and loved our interactions , his professionalism and his positive outlook .    He was a very wonderful human.    I miss him .   

Mes condoléances à toute votre famille. Adolfo était un gentleman toujours disponible et généreux pour discuter ou apprendre le foot aux enfants et aux parents. Son sourire va beaucoup nous manquer. Nous pensons fort a vous.


Acompañándoles en vuestro dolor y rezando por su  descanso eterno.
Sin palabras…un abrazo fuerte, fuerte

Juan e Inés

I was so saddened to hear the shocking news this morning. My heart goes out to the family at this time of grief.
Adolfo, with your skills and smarts, you are always lending a hand and pitching in when we need help, really appreciate it. You make our work life a lot brighter and a whole lot more fun, thanks for being a breath of fresh air, thanks for being such a great business partner, you will be forever missed. 
Our deepest condolences to the family. Rest in peace Adolfo!


Although we cannot be there with you, we know a beautiful angel is looking over us. 

We will cherish your memory and all the good you have brought to our family.

You will forever be remembered.

Unfortunately, we have never had an opportunity to meet in person but Adolfo was just a great business partner and very kind person and it was a real pleasure to work with him. 
Our deepest condolences to the family.
Rest in peace Adolfo!

From a TMX employee who wishes she got a chance to meet you! I've heard many great things about your work ethic and kindness whether it may be from those internally or externally. I'm positive that you're one of a kind and a legend in the industry. My deepest condolences to the family. 

What a beautiful, kind and loving man Adolfo was. Although his life was cut way too short, he leaves a lasting memory to everyone who knew him. We will always remember him as an amazing father and husband. His love  for his family was so evident and hopefully there is some comfort in knowing how loved you all were.  Remember all the beautiful memories you shared. May your beautiful husband and father Rest In Peace… ❤️

Lots of love, Karina, Brodie and Kyla

Conocí a Adolfo durante el máster en 2021 e iniciamos una buena amistad. Disfrute de su amistad y cercanía mientras estuvo en Madrid y posteriormente en la distancia.  Ha sido un gran ejemplo para todos los que le hemos conocido. Le echaremos de menos y le recordaremos siempre. Un abrazo muy fuerte para ti gran familia.

Queridos Raquel, Amaya, Iñaki y familia,
He tardado dos días en asimilar la triste noticia. Siento profundamente el fallecimiento de nuestro adorable Adolfo. 
Tuvé la gran suerte de conocerlo y trabajar con el en Madrid a finales de los 90. Siempre tenía una sonrisa, siempre amable con los demás, siempre dispuesto a ayudar a aquellos que lo necesitaban. A pesar de la distancia que nos separaba entre Canadá y España siempre intentábamos ponernos al día por teléfono un par de veces al año. Era un amigo brillante, inteligente y con un humor sarcástico y especial. En definitiva, era una persona especial, simpática bondadosa y querida por todos.
Desde Madrid, Montse y yo nos unimos al enorme dolor y vacío que embarga la inesperada pérdida de mi genial e increíble amigo Adolfo. Os acompañamos en estos momentos tan dificiles y lamentamos en lo más profundo de nuestro corazón su perdida. Os hacemos llegar nuestro más sentido pésame y os deseamos mucho ánimo para seguir adelante.
Montse y Alvaro

Dear Racheal, Amalia, Iñaki and Fam. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Marc, Millie, Oliver and Marc-Antony

Queridos Raquel, Amaya, Iñaki , Elena, Adolfo y Maria Luisa. Sabeis que estamos con vosotros en estos momentos dificiles y que os queremos tanto como queriamos a nuestro Adolfo. 

Annie : My dear friend Adolfo more like a brother, we have known each other since we were kids and shared so many fun and memorable moments. I will never forget our time in Sevilla, Expo 92. It was one big party for 6 months. I am so fortunate that I was one of the 4 girls that shared that apartment with you where a lot of crazy and happy moments took place. I will miss you dearly. 

Rafael : Yo conoci a Adolfo haciendo el master en Madrid, y desde entonces hemos sido buenos amigos y hemos compartido grandes momentos juntos. Hoy vivo en Montreal y tengo a Annie y Audrey en mi vida gracias a esta amistad. Recuerdo con cariño una cena que tuvimos en vuestra casa en 2004 cuando Adolfo decidio abrir la botella de vino (viña ardanza gran reserva) que yo le habia dado en Madrid varios años antes y que guardaba para una ocasion. La ocasion fue para recibirnos porque ese año Annie y yo llegamos a Montreal para casarnos. Siempre que una botella de viña ardanza llega a casa, Adolfo viene a mis recuerdos. Seguiremos compartiendo copas a tu salud alli donde estes. Hasta siempre Adolfo.


I can’t come to terms that we have lost such a great one. We lost a great husband, father, son, brother, friend & co-worker. Life is nothing without friends and family and Adolfo is someone who I considered to be both. We we’re so similar in many ways, committed 100% to work, family, friends, and both married to strong, determined women. Our main difference is that Adolfo had better hair…in fact, he actually had hair. I will forever miss his sound effects to Coronation Street and his imitations of the penguins in Madagascar. There are countless memories that we have shared. From parties, restaurants, vacations to the great times at U2 & Simple Minds concerts. Oh, and how can we forget about all the dancing in his kitchen with Raquel & Carol as if we were on “So you think you can dance!” Adolfo will be difficult to replace on game night when its boys against the girls. Without Adolfo, I will now lose every argument to Carol & Raquel! Adolfo, every time I pour myself a vodka soda I will think of you. Every Simple Minds song that plays will remind me of you. You will forever be so dearly missed and a part of my heart has been lost forever. We will meet again one day my dear friend, “Don’t you forget about me”.  - Rocco

Carol Salmon

Well, where do I begin…Adolfo was a man that I feel truly blessed to have had the honor to call my friend. Many, many years have passed and we have shared so many memories. I watched you dance with your bride, beam with pride when your children were born and sing Simple Minds songs like you were on stage! Adolfo was a man that made you feel welcome; safe and at ease. His calm demeanor filled up the room and his smile was contagious. His love for his family and friends was unconditional. We hugged each other everytime we got together and it breaks my heart that we are no longer able to. 

I will, however, smile and laugh when I think about the good times that we shared together. 
All four of us “Dirty Dancing” in the kitchen while your kids tried to sleep, telling us off for being too loud! Adolfo who NEVER dances, danced to the 80s music till the early hours of the morning. We laughed so much that night! Who could imagine that four people could have so much fun dancing in a kitchen?   

As long as he took an afternoon nap, Adolfo was good to go! Suppers, parties, concerts, 
vacations and our last game night together which I will cherish forever. That was the last time I had the pleasure of seeing you laugh, sip a vodka soda and hang around my kitchen table. Adolfo, you are such a great friend and I will miss you and your Paddington Bear coat. 
I am blessed that you were part of the last 26 years of my life. 


Adolfo,  I will miss you and the coffees we had together.   

Thinking of you and your family. 

🙏🏻

C’ est avec grande tristesse que nous avons perdu un être cher que nous considérons comme notre grand frère . Nous n’oublierons jamais les Noël passés avec la familia Sastron , toi qui se donnais toujours à 100% pour gagner le fameux cadeau surprise. Sache Adolfo qu’à chaque fois que nous mangerons des “petits pains fourrés “ , nos pensées irons vers toi ( connaissant ton grand amour pour les petits pains fourrés de Suzanne ) . Tu seras toujours dans notre cœur notre frère . ♥️

Dear Raquel, Amaya and Inaki,  i am thinking of you during this difficult time. My sincere condolences to you and the family for the
great loss of your beloved father,son and wonderful husband.
I will always cherish the memory of the occasions being with him
and the family. Rest in peace dear friend,you will always be in our
hearts and thoughts. Much love to you all


Dear Raquel, Inaki and Amaya, 
I first met Adolfo when he worked on the RBC futures desk, and then I was fortunate to work with him as a colleague at CDCC.   Adolfo was a class act in every sense of the word - kind, thoughtful, honest, and generous of spirit.  We spent a lot of time working and travelling together and I always enjoyed and appreciated his company, his perspective and his good humor.  I know how much he loved his family - he would  keep me up to date on all of Amaya's swimming accomplishments and Inaki's soccer career with tremendous pride.  I will miss him very much, and I wish you all strength and courage during this very difficult time.
May his memory be a blessing.
Brian Gelfand

Adolfo, your calm and reflective demeanour was infectious and something that always left an impression on us each time we were together.  

Your unconditional generosity and thoughtfulness was unique.  Without knowing us, you and Raquel invited our family to your home in between a cold soccer tournament to warm up, dry our wet clothes and fed us.  We knew at that moment we had met some incredible friends. 

You will always be in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.  We will help watch over your beautiful children and wife . We love you and will miss you terribly. 

I have so many good memories about Adolfo but one that my Family always seem to talk about is an NFL football weekend that we share with him. We were a bunch of guys drinking beer in the hotel room in shorts and t-shirt and here comes Adolfo out of the washroom wearing  silk p-j's and an ascot, let me tell you that we were stunned and burst into laughter but that was the kind of guy that Adolfo was to make people laugh. I have known him since we were kids and will miss him terribly. My deepest sympathies to all of the family. Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again.

my deepest condolences go out to you and your family


Querida Raquel y familia siento una enorme tristeza por la repentina muerte de tu querido Adolfo y te deseo que su recuerdo te de fuerzas para seguir adelante a ti y a tus dos tesoros.Un fuerte abrazo de toda la familia de Santo Domingo de la Calzada.

Querida familia,
A veces es dificil obtener consuelo con palabras, lo mucho que
sentimos esta pérdida. Te acompañamos en tú dolor y te recordaremos 
siempre. Nuestro más sentido pésame a toda la familia.
Familia Paradelo. 


One of my fondest memories of Adolfo was of him doing a rendition of Gene Kelly's "Singing in the Rain" one late night coming out of Scaramouche.  I am grateful that Adolfo made "space" for me when I started dating his best friend and my future husband .  

We thought we had time, you left too soon.




Querida familia, os enviamos nuestro mas sentido pesame y todo nuestro cariño en estos momentos tan dificiles e incompresibles. 
Os deseamos que encontreis la fuerza para seguir adelante 
Un fuerte abrazo,

Querida familia,  no tengo palabras para  deciros cuento lamento la perdida de vuestro ser tan querido; hijo, esposo, padre, amigo... No importa el titulo que tenga para cada uno de vosotros porque el vacio que deja es enorme y unico para cada uno.  Espero que el tiempo pueda ayudaros a cicatrizar tan dolorosa herida y que los buenos  recuerdos puedan rellenar el gran vacio que deja.  Nuestro mas sentido pesame,  Merche Cacheiro & familia Perez Cacheiro 

Adolfo’s gentleness and his humour and joie de vivre will remain his legacy, as will his love and commitment to his wonderful family.  We will remember Adolfo’s laugh and his presence, calming and reassuring.  Always smiling, always with a twinkle in his eye, especially when assessing the chaos at family events!  He was a pillar of strength for Raquel, Amaya and Inaki, and someone whom we admired and respected greatly.  You will always be in our hearts and thoughts!  Love, the Ortiz & Barin Families 

Hemos tenido la gran suerte de tener en nuestras vidas a los Sastrón-Navarrete, y sus familias.
Adolfo, hombre con  clase, con principios y valores. Gran anfitrión y siempre risueño,  tenemos grabados en nuestras memorias infinidad de entrañables momentos .

Deja un gran vacio entre nosotros.
 Dios lo tenga en su gloria.
Con todo nuestro cariño
Pascal, Claudia y Elena

While we didn't know him very well, I remember him as quick with a smile and laugh. He, and all your family, are known for your friendliness, kindness and generosity. His soul has passed but he has given his children what they need to grow and thrive. We are here for all of you. Sending lots of love and hugs your way.

Dear Raquel, Amaya and Iñaki,

You have constantly been in our hearts, thoughts and prayers these past few weeks. 

We have been thinking a lot lately of memories of Adolfo, including the time not long after you all moved in next door and we needed to borrow a baking pan. We asked Laurie across the road, but she wasn’t home at the time. Within minutes our bell rang and there was Adolfo holding an armful of various pans with a huge smile!  Just a small example of the kind family you are!

You were wonderful, thoughtful neighbours and we are so lucky to know a family like yours. Adolfo always had a smile and kindness to share - he was such a light. 

We will always be here for all of you.
With love, 
Susan, John, Sarah, Joseph & Michael xo

Adolfo, I am one of the privileged few who can say cut your hair and helped you maintain your “cool” status with a constant fresh look 😊 When I first started not everyone entrusted me with that task but you certainly put your faith in me even though it took me a few tries to get it right❤️ You were always so kind and funny and even a little bit shy at times. You always took the time to go see Hugo (most likely building something in the yard) and maybe even grabbing a quick beer while you chatted (and always in French might I add) ❤️ Also so many party nights with our families including lots of dancing to 80’s tunes and good times up until the last one celebrating your anniversary a couple of months back ❤️ Keep the party going for all of us up in heaven where we will all eventually meet again ❤️ We will miss you dearly and will help take care of your family in your absence. With lots of love, Carolyn, Hugo, Axel, Roman, Kai and Ella xxx

Mi más sentido pésame a toda la familia. Adolfo era una persona fantástica! Siempre le recordaré, desde que nos conocimos durante el Master en Madrid a las veces que nos reunimos en Montreal,  sonriendo, siempre alegre, amable y atento con todos. Un fuerte abrazo y todo mi cariño a toda la familia ❤️

Querida familia, 
No tenemos palabras que puedan aliviar el dolor de perder un hijo, Hermann, marido, padre y amigo.
Siempre recordaremos  a Adolfo con la sonrisa y el buen humor.  

Nuestro mas  sentido pensamiento para toda la familia,

La familia Mannetta-Verdeja y la familia Verdeja-Cadelo

My husband and I had the honour of meeting Adolfo just in the last couple years.
Although we’ve met him less than an handful of times, we had the pleasure to get invited at their house this past summer, for a Kayak/paddle board excursion on the windy lake! 
Despite feeling weak from his recent vaccine, Adolfo a trooper, came with us and Raquel and had the chance to witness at Paddle boarding, which ended up with me taking a full plongé into take. Raquel caught every on video of course.
We had a great night with them and had the chance to enjoy his company, great humour on a few other occasions.

Queridos socios, 

Os llevamos en el corazón en estos momentos tan dificiles de vuestras vidas. Adolfo será recordado con su preciosa sonrisa y su gran generosidad. 

Un afectuoso y cálido abrazo. 
El Club Español de Quebec

Queridos Adolfo, Maria Luisa, Elena y familia.
Adolfo será siempre recordado por su excelente educación, su preciosa sonrisa , su gran caballerosidad y su generosidad inagotable demostrada durante los momentos que hemos compartido con el  en las bonitas fiestas regionales en las que ayudaba con alegria. 

Os llevamos en nuestro corazón. Con mucho cariño
Hugo, Diego, Elena y Riki. 

I had the pleasure of knowing Adolfo professionally.  Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and helpful at TMX / CDCC, but I always looked forward to in-person meetings with him;  his unique approach to problems and brutal honesty was always refreshing.  My sincerest condolences to his family throughout this difficult time.

I remember arriving to Montreal from Paris in late 1999 and meeting Adolfo who like me worked in finance. He was incredibly welcoming and it was always a pleasure to see him whenever we "bumped" into each other in Canada or in the US. He is one of a kind and will be missed.
My deepest sympathies to his family.  

I have known Adolfo as an industry colleague for several years. First through Bank of Montreal and then as part of the FIA Operations Division. Adolfo was always courteous, always helpful, always a strong partner and always willing to help. He will be missed by all of us in the futures industry. Godspeed Adolfo!

La noticia de lo sucedido a Adolfo me ha llenado de tristeza sin conocerlo personalmente. En mi casa siempre se ha comentado que una prima de mi padre, María Luisa, vivia con su familia en Canadá... Hace unos años en una boda en España tuve la suerte de conocerla, a ella, su marido y su hija Elena, pero se quedó pendiente conocer a Adolfo hijo aunque recuerdo hablar de Él con todos ellos.
María Luisa, se que tenías comunicación con mi padre, Ramón, se que él también hubiera sentido mucho la noticia y te hubiera consolado en un momento como este. Os mando a todos desde España un abrazo eterno, para que se lo transmitas de nuestra parte a Raquel y los chicos.
Descanse en paz Adolfo❤️

To Raquel, Inaki and Amaya, please accept my most heartfelt condolences on the loss of Adolfo.  We were all lucky to have known him and I'm sure we all share very fond memories of our time together with him.   

As a current and former work colleague of Adolfo, I remember the fun times we spent together.  He always had a knack for making us all laugh with his off the cuff words like "tergiverser" that used to get us all laughing at once.  He was a genuinely kind and modest soul who I thoroughly enjoyed talking to and joking around with.  

While I know it's incredibly hard not to be sad, I can't help but smile when I think of the fun times I spent with Adolfo and prefer to remember him this way.

Rest in peace my friend

I had the pleasure of working with Adolfo every day for five years when we were both on the RBC futures desk in Montreal. I will always remember him as a gentleman first. Luckily for him he had a great sense of humour which he needed when working with the team then! He always had a sense of balance, knowing when to be serious and when he could let off steam and we all appreciated his insights. 

I can recall speaking to him many times about his native country and his life there, he was so proud to call himself a Spaniard. And on these cold January days I’m also reminded of how much he hated the frigid temperatures (at least back then) and how he would bundle himself up beyond all recognition, he could barely turn his head! 

Adolfo, I’m going to miss you buddy, you were truly a class act and a very hard act to follow. 
My condolences to your wife and children as well as your parents. Rest In Peace.


Sincères condoléances à toute la famille une nouvelle fois.
Je n’ai jamais eu la chance de discuter avec Alphonso en personne mais j’ai la chance de coacher votre fils Inaki. Je suis sûre qu’il rendra son père fière sur les terrains de soccer.
Courage à toutes et à tous 
Coach Greg

Dear Raquel, Amaya, and Iñaki, 
We will always remember Adolfo with his big smile, generous nature, and kind heart.  It is hard to imagine a world without him, but he will always be with you, protecting you, and loving you. 
I will miss how he often answered my calls "Hello, this is Raquel's personal assistant, how may I help you?" It was always a lovely surprise to hear his voice on the phone. 
Like so many others who love and support you, our family will always be here for you.  We love you all very much and wish you strength and peace during this difficult time. 
Love,
Sarah, Dave, Sam & Nate 

We are so happy that our pathes crossed in this world and that for a brief time we got to know you all through soccer.  Adolfo was such a giving and caring coach.  The memories we made those few brief summers were some of the happiest times for us.
We are beyond sad for you all and pray that strength and comfort will surround you all. Adolfo was an amazing man with a contagious enthusiasm for life. Our thoughts are with you, Raquel, Amaya and Iñaki. There are no words for such a tragic loss but know you have the love and support of so many. May memories and family comfort you. Hugs and prayers that the days will get easier and time will heal your hearts.  
Ian, Dodie, Caileigh and Aselin Bates


Dearest Raquel… although we never met Adolfo, we knew of  him through your passion and commitment for the  exceptional and generous community work you shared as a family. May you find some solace in the memory of these magical and unforgettable moments! Allow us to pray for you and your family🙏 
Our heartfelt condolences,

Louise and Richard
