SAVANNAH - José Antonio Solés loving husband to Martha Roman Solés for 52 years; exemplary father to Martha Maurno and Daniel Solés; loving grandfather to Abigail 21 and Charlotte 17 Maurno, and devoted father-in-law to Steven Maurno passed away on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at the age of 85 after a long fight with Alzheimer's and heart disease. He was born in Camagüey Cuba on July 29, 1928 and earned a PhD from the University of Havana. He emigrated from Cuba to the United States in 1961, became a U.S. citizen five years later, and worked as a Reports Analyst for the American Bureau of Shipping in New York City until he retired almost 40 years later. He will always be remembered for his strong love, loyalty and dedication to his family; his passion for the beach and ice cream; and his wonderful sense of humor that set everyone at ease.

Martha, I am so sorry for your loss. Although I only had the opportunity to meet your Dad once, he made an impression on me. A thoroughly enjoyable man and obviously a very special person. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Martha, your dad was such a special person, and he could relate to people of all ages. He was so kind and developed a special bond with our daughter, Kathleen. She has always remembered visiting him and how welcoming he was. He was a great dad and husband and you are a wonderful reflection of him. He is watching over you and your family now, and I know your memories of him and your family will console you during this difficult time. May God bless you, your mom, and your entire family, and know that you all worked together to support him so that he could stay at home and enjoy the rest of his life with his family. Love, Karen, Tom, Kathleen, and John
