Lamelas accepted sacrifice to start life anew in U.S.

"Cuban refugee was lawyer, Castro foe" says the subtitle of this front page obituary.

He was also the father of Elsa Lamelas, a Milwaukee County Circuit Judge.

Elsa Lamelas said her father often reminded her and the rest of the family that being in the U.S. was a privilege and that "we had an obligation to study, succeed and to give back."

Our condolences to the Lamelas family.
