I still can’t believe Walter Mercado is gone. I am not naive — death is part of life. But there are certain people who seem immortal. He was one of them. Actor. Astrologer. Ponceño.

What I remember most about Walter Mercado was the silence that would envelop our home when he came on air. His suggestions seemed unusual, but doable. And no matter what your sign, they always carried the same message: life could be better.

He was positive — always positive.

Wherever you are, Walter, I hope you are gossiping with all our grandmas. Mucha paz… y mucho amor.
