LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Musician’s death a painful loss

Vicente Fernandez was the undisputed king of Mexican ranchera music and brought joy to millions of people.

Praise for Gustavo Arellano’s Dec. 19 column on this artist, “Vicente Fernández’s journey was our parents’ journey. Long may they live.”

I’m not Hispanic but this column brought out universal truths about the ending eras of our American culture, our waves of immigration, and our flaws as a society and as individuals.
