Looks like 12 years old.

Carlos Mario Rabassa Lorenzo, Rich's father.

Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, August 24, 1939, still alive almost 60 years later.

Parents:

Carlos Aureliano Pio Rabassa, born in Montevideo, Uruguay, May 5, 1901; passed away on June 15, 1978 and

Maria Serafina Lorenzo Corta, born in Montevideo, Uruguay, July 17, 1908 passed away on March 13, 1997.

The name of Carlos Aureliano probably follows some old custom; Carlos was his father, Aurelia his Mother and Pio was probably the Pope or a Saint related to the date of birth. Pio is Spanish for the Latin Pius, a popular name among Popes.

Both of his parents were probably born in Montevideo; we heard the first emigrant on that side was Aurelia's Mother from Italy. Richard's grandfather used to dream of having a home like his Italian Grandparents with a basement with cheese wheels stored on rope shelves and plenty of olive oil cans just in case another war started in Europe and supplies became scarce.
