Omango Rango Django. R.I.P.

[Lenny]

Many of us had the pleasure to know and enjoy the music of Rango Django (Owen Monroe) on the beach. Sadly, yesterday Rango suffered a stroke and passed away at the hospital in Lucea.

Rest in peace my brother.

[Sweetness]

Sleep in peace and thank you for sharing yourself with us.

We were just talking about seeing him again this year. A quick end is a merciful thing! Peace to him, he will be missed.

I tried my first post today on this subject, but I think it went wrong.
So This is to report the sad passing of Rango, the well known and respected songwriter and singer who was always to be seen entertaining at the beach hotels.

During the last 2 or 3 years he spent a lot of time at Firefly's bar and sang at the Tuesday beach parties with his small band, even up to last week. That is wherel the photos were taken not long ago. He will be sadly missed.

I know there will be many who will recognize him in these photos and probably never knew his name. The other musician is Howie Williams.

Nice pic's David. We will miss hanging out with Rango and entertaining us that's for sure.
"Lots" of good memories!

See everybody soon,
Lance and Mary

Man this is terrible news. Last year I was happy to get to jam with Omango and Howie Blendah and several other great musicians. I called them the Negril Beach All stars...Omango did "Sittin on the dock of the Bay" and he nailed it. He truely was one of the great entertainers of the area..
