Still and always will be missing my friend.
I will always admire his dedication to his Art of Drumming and to music performance in general.
 Super aware of music texture, dynamics, timing and space and especially volume according to his awareness of the other players.
But aside from what we most knew him for, a musician,….was his individual persona.  
Very articulate in thought and dialog and always searching for the intellectual bottom-line of intention.
Our last conversation, 2 months before his passing was a conversation that lasted 4 hours from 11:pm until 3:am. Typical for us since our early days of friendship and playing music together.
My friend you are very much alive still in my mind,  i still see you in-motion searching for your next words of thought, or physically executing your next drum movement to secure your next great intention.
You are missed.

Gonchi, además de ser un gran amigo y compañero fue un gran maestro para mi.

Puedo decir sin equivocarme que yo aprendí lo que era el Jazz, Blues y estilos diferentes de música bajo la tutela de Gonchi que siempre fue muy generoso con su conocimiento y muy dedicado a su música por eso, cada vez que escucho a Coltrane, Miles, Weather Report, o B.B King le doy gracias a Gonchi por su conocimiento y haber querido compartirlo conmigo. Lo extraño mucho. Fernando

Se nos fue un gran amigo!

Companero de "batallas musicales", maestro, hermano buen padre y buen hijo!

Gonchi, no sabes el privilegio que fue conocerte, compartir, viajar, tocar y reir contigo y con todos los companeros musicos.

Sigue tu camino y se feliz !

No te olvidare,

Fernando Rosado
