Obituary For Librado Vera
Librado Vera was born in Encrucijada, Las Villas, Cuba. His first education started as a boarding student at Maristas Brothers in Cienfuegos, Cuba. He got a Ph.D in law at Habana University, Cuba. Since then, he worked as a lawyer and Notary until he left his country in July 1967.
Librado arrived at this country on one of the “Freedom Flights” sponsored by the American Government, under the Presidency of L.B. Johnson. After 13 months in Miami, he, his wife, and son came to Laredo with a contract to teach Spanish at the Holding Institute.
During his time at Holding, he attended classes at A&I University in Kingsville to get a Masters of Arts degree. He received his degree in 1972.
In 1975, he went to teach at Lamar Junior High School and later to Martin High school, where not only taught Spanish but Drama and Poetry as well. He was the sponsor of the Panamerican Club and Co-Sponsored the Spanish Honor Society, “Gabriela Mistral” chapter. He retired in 1995. After retirement, he decided to visit some countries, Israel, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. He also traveled to Cuba in different occasions to visit his parents and siblings.
He is preceded in death by his parents Dionisio Vera and Virgilia Perez, both from Canary Islands, Spain and brothers Gil, Ramon, Luis, Brigido, Arturo, and sister Fe. He is survived by his wife Rita of 70 years of marriage, his son Librado Jr., daughter-in-law, Maria Antonia, granddaughter Vicky, his brothers Roberto, Ignacio, and sister Eumelia and numerous nephews and nieces and other relatives in Cuba and Canary Islands.
His desire is to be cremated and his ashes sent to Cuba to reside in the Vera's family cemetery in La Quinta, Villa Clara, to Cuba.

My dear friend and esteemed colleague, Mr Librado Vera was one of a kind. An excellent Spanish teacher and above all a gentle and very wise person. I was so sorry to learn of his passing. My sincere condolences to Rita, Libradito, his daughter in law and granddaughter. The world hast lost a great human being. May he Rest in Peace. He was my co-sponsor in the Spanish Honor Society, and a terrific Spanish poetry and drama teacher. Thanks to him and our dear Rita, our Martin High students did so well learning n reciting Spanish poetry. He is gone but his legacy continues with the many students he taught in Laredo. We were blessed that the Vera family made Laredo their home after leaving Cuba. Thank you my friend, colleague, and mentor. Forever in my heart❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

It's hard to believe that a man that gave himself wholeheartedly to his students and ably cultivated talent in barren soil is peacefully resting in the arms of our Lord. I am one of those whom he taught and nourished in the recitation of Spanish poetry; I even got to act in Spanish drama and read Spanish prose. Mr. Librado Vera, toda una institución en la enseñanza de drama y poesía, descanse en paz y brille para usted la luz perpetua!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Poesía: "El Padre" de Hector Galiarde!! Prosa: Desiderata!! Raúl Martinez MHS Class of '85

Le debo tanto al Sr. Vera. Mantuve mi nivel de español por su tremenda enseñanza y profunda dedicación. Me enseñó a respetar a nuestro idioma y despertó una curiosidad en mi de aprender y explorar más el mundo de literatura española y latinoamericana. Agradezco la oportunidad que nos brindó la vida de tenerlo de profesor y en nuestra vida. Daphne Michael Nassif QED
