Dad today will be the hardest day. Today we say goodbye to you here on this earth. I know we will see you again up in heaven. May you RIP and know we all love you dearly.❤️
Dad, l Love You!❤️. Till we meet again
Our condolences to María Isabel, to our cousins, nephews and grandnephews for the departure of your Pater Familia, who was also ours. Our uncle Coco or simply Coquieto. The last of the 7 Delgado Bustamante (Hilda, Alfredo, Mercedes, José, Teresa, Carlos and Jorge).
We shared life with him at my parents' house (Hilda Delgado and Carlos Heusser) here in Santiago de Chile between 1956 and 1960 approximately. We remembered with my sister Annie or Ana María when she was preparing to take the Baccalaureate to enter the University. Finally, his first year of study was at the University of La Plata in Argentina, after which he returned to Santiago and shared life with his brother José Chemical Engineer at the Paper and Cardboard Manufacturing Company in Puente Alto.
During that period, his children Patricio (RIP +1974) and Nancy Delgado Vergara were born.
In 1986 I had the opportunity to visit them and stay at your house for a couple of days, when Uncle Jorge and María Isabel took me around Huston and visited some malls.
The next opportunity we shared was the family meeting at Gabriela Laso's house where we met 13 cousins Delgado and uncle Jorge.
Receive our affection by reiterating that also in this southern area of the continent you have family that feels Coco's departure very much.
Ana María and Javier Heusser Delgado
My dad — my hero, my rock, and the heart of our family. Dad was a hardworking man, full of love, pride, and wisdom. He built his life around taking care of those he loved, and he did it with strength and a quiet dignity that I’ve always admired.
He had a way of bringing people together — family gatherings were his favorite, and he made sure everyone felt welcome, loved, and connected. He was the kind of man who believed in doing things the right way, who taught us the value of hard work, respect, and standing tall no matter what life brings.
Dad wasn’t just my father — he was my teacher, my protector, and my friend. His laughter, his stories, and his love will forever echo in my heart. Though he’s no longer with us, I know his spirit will always guide me.
Dad, thank you for everything — for the love you gave so freely and for the example you set so proudly. You’ll always be with me, and I’ll carry your heart in mine forever.
