Notable South Florida Deaths Of 2016

 

Although Fidel Castro died in Havana, the impact his passing had on South Florida probably qualifies it as the most notable death in our region.

In the audio clip above, WLRN's Christine DiMattei and Miami Herald feature writer Howard Cohen pay tribute to a few. Take a listen, and read the Miami Herald's full story here.
