Dumont has left leaving great memories among all those who knew him. "A genius clueless, with a sense of humor as few and with a culture that has all four sides. An example of education, humility, professionalism and good work, "recalled dubbing actor Iván Muelas. Here we remind you by reciting Lorca.
In one of his latest messages via Facebook, the actor called for "taking advantage of the good things in life, because it may be our last moon.""Teacher of teachers," as Rafael Marfil defined him, says goodbye forever in his thoughts: "Neither white, nor Chinese, nor black, nor gay, nor invalids, nor Jews nor Moors. All without labels. Only people on the planet. " The one who took to walk the memories "so that they float" the dreams "if the present is adverse". Rest in peace.
