It would have been Anton's birthday today,
but sadly, he suddenly passed away ,
on the 6th September 2011.
We shared poems, music, prose, chats and solid critisism about politics and politicians.
He corrected many of my tentative efforts writing poetry in his native language, portuguese.
His fine sense of humour and his clear vision of world events, always amazed me.
His prolific writing of various book, articles and blogs,
earned him the respect of a wide reading audience.
His refined musical taste, that he generously shared,
makes for unforgettable memories.
His unselfishness has always touched me as a supreme sign
of his integrity as a special human being.
His sudden passing away,
left a deep emptiness in his admirers.
Adélio António Magalhães Pinto will be sincerely remembered for a long time.
