On March 26, 2002, Jose Feliciano, C/O ‘98, passed away after a long battle with heart disease. He was the Rock Ensemble bassist from September 1995 through June 1998. He was an outstanding musician who played enthusiastically with the group in many concerts at Miami Beach High School and throughout the community. He traveled to Atlanta with the Rock Ensemble where his talented bass playing contributed to the superior rating and 1st-place trophy the group was awarded at that festival. I remember Jose learning the bass parts precisely, and in the style of McCartney, from the score of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Without Jose’s talent, enthusiasm, consistent practice and reading ability, the production would not have been anywhere near as good as it was. He had a way of 'sizing up' situations that everyone else was unsettled about and putting it in the proper perspective very quickly. It is understandable that Jose had many friends, most of whom were musicians who admired, respected and loved him very much. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
