Contramaestre welcomed into eternity a warrior of the Cuban press
This Sunday, December 9, Contramaestre welcomed into eternity, a warrior of the Cuban press, who gave the best years of his youth and profession to the Revolution, to his people and to the Cuban sports movement. Antonio Prado de la Fe, journalist of the Tele Turquino Telecenter, died Saturday, December 8 in the city of Santiago de Cuba, after five months of fighting against various illnesses.
Prado de la Fé, 39 years old, Degree in Social Communication and Sports Narrator and Narrator of the radio station Grito de Baire de Contramaestre, maintained a professional life totally at the service of the press of his municipality and especially to the dissemination of sports development.
He was able to treasure the teachings of his television and Radio Grito de Baire colleagues since 2009 until becoming the headliner followed by sports lovers in these media.
Prado de la Fé was the founder of the Contramaestre Television Station since 2006, where he almost created a Tele center in a small place, because it was Tony who helped dream and create improvised studios so that the people who admired him really enjoyed local television.
Today we are not losing Tony, although his physical form will rest in one point of this geography. Today we have an example of demonstrated companionship, of humbleness and honesty, of militancy devoted to his Party in a disciplined and committed manner.
From today, the name of this distinguished journalist will be engraved on the walls of the sports complexes he highlighted, on the implements of the recreation activists he turned into news correspondents, on the medals of the young people he interviewed and filmed, on the images of his Tele Turquino channel with the experiences of his birthplace, on the coverage preserved in the archive, on the feats of this town, in the memory of his own people.
