Ricardo Alarcon told reporters that [Juan] Almeida was "one of the main architects of the Cuban revolution" and "was with Fidel throughout this revolution.""He was a man of very humble origins, a bricklayer, black. All his life he worked with his hands, with the sweat of his brow, but he was a man with great sensibility, a musician, a poet."
The Cuban government has declared Sunday to be a national day of mourning and ordered all flags flown at half-staff.
