most of the time since then. On Sunday, July 30, 2006, Trinidad began to run a fever. His
blood sugar and blood pressure were off. A little after 4:00 pm he began to have labored
breathing, and then the breathing stopped all together.
Like most Americans, Trinidad did not have health insurance. Along with the shock and
devastation that comes from losing a loved one, comes the piles of bills and red tape. It is an
unexcusable fact, but one that must be dealt with.
Trinidad is not a MetroMania Press™ Author, but in an effort to show our appreciation for
this wonderful poetic master, and to support his family, MetroMania Press™ has set up
these memorial pages for Trinidad. You can find additional information on Trinidad, as well as
read a selection of his poems on these pages.
