“You will always be in our hearts. It radiated light even when the day was cloudy. We will miss him forever, he was a great friend and professional, a great expert in jewelry and antiques. Nobody like him” said Víctor López.
Camilo Casa, a friend of Morales for many years, told us that he helped him start his business, when, according to him, he had no papers, nor the necessary resources to start a business. He says that Morales impacted his life in a very positive way and that he owes much of the person he has become.
