| The mayor of Totana expresses his sincere condolences to the family | "I receive with great regret the death of Juan Tudela Piernas.
Uncle Juan Rita.
A totanero by adoption and villager by birth.
A legendary and universal figure who leaves us at 108 years old when he was on his way to 109.I am deeply sorry that such a lucid mind leaves us in these moments when they are so necessary.
But I am convinced that Juan Rita will live in our hearts for a long time.My sincere condolences to the family, to the people who loved him and were close.
Today is a day of mourning for Totana, Aledo and the Region of Murcia.
Although he defied Natural Law, reaching this age, in recent years he has enriched his long legacy for our society.I remember my birthday kiss on February 14, his trovos and memories that day in an endearing chat with his family.
In the end, Uncle Juan, you have given life to the radeor, making your exemplary existence true.
Now yes, rest in Peace.
You deserve it.
Thank you for your example and for being there until today.
Your departure leaves us orphans, but your memory will last in time.
"Juan José Cánovas, Mayor of Totana
