Josep Cusí, the most loyal friend of King Juan Carlos, both at sea and on land, passed away in the early hours of this Wednesday, at the age of 92, at his home in Barcelona, surrounded by his family, who have been by his side tirelessly since a few days ago when his already fragile health worsened. Known for his close relationship with the King’s father, Cusí will be remembered as a kind man, a husband in love with his beloved Inés Muiños, father, grandfather, and even great-grandfather, a recognized athlete, promoter of nautical sports, and above all, for having a personality and innate elegance that earned him the affection of all who knew him, from kings and princes to the humblest of sailors. King Juan Carlos, upon learning of the fatal outcome of his faithful regatta and life companion, was the first to mourn the sad loss.
