Luis Fernando MARULANDA

Luis Fernando Marulanda arrived in this country when he was 22 years old and has worked hard ever since as a responsible citizen and son to provide for his family back home in Medellín, Colombia. He was a long time employee of NJ Transit and NY Waterway. During 9/11, he shuttled commuters on the NY/NJ ferries across the Hudson River. And during the corona-19 pandemic, he continued working with great dedication to drive passengers as part of NJ Transit. He was beloved by his family, friends and co-workers for his bright smile, his laugh and his willingness to always lend a hand or help others any way he could. He was a hero to those whose lives he touched and he will be sorely missed. He is survived by two children, two brothers and three sisters. "Luis Fernando como hijo, como hermano y como amigo siempre fue un ser excepcional. Sus valores de *nobleza* y *amistad* sólo se ven en muy pocas personas en esta vida. Nosotros como hermanos siempre te sentimos cerca, muy cerca, a pesar de que estabas lejos en otro país. Tus hermanos siempre te recordameros como el hermano que muchas personas quisieran tener y tus amigos también te recordarán como lo que siempre fuiste, un verdadero amigo." Tus hermanos Marta, Rosa, Nora, Alberto y Gonzalo.
