Condolence
The Korea Times is deeply saddened to hear about the death of Delfin Colome, Spanish ambassador to Korea.
Our thoughts are with Elena de Colome, wife, other family members and those who have worked with him at the embassy.
The Korea Times and the diplomatic community in Korea had the honor and the pleasure to know the Ambassador Colome.
Colome was such a kind, gentle soul. He was a great diplomat and a great musician.
Let us remember that "Those who live in the hearts of others never die."
