In addition to the main characters that appeared in “The guy from 8”, there was a boy who stole the looks for his occurrences, especially, in the little school, where he drove Professor Jirafales out of his boxes; we refer to Godinez, the youngest who managed to respond to his teacher. His role was played by Horacio Gómez Bolaños, Chespirito’s brother, from whom we will point out later when and from what he died.
Returning to the character, how to forget the times he said “I don’t know” as soon as he heard his name, without the ‘Master Longaniza’ asking him any question. But he not only appeared in the little school, we also saw him interacting with the other characters in the neighborhood such as Don Ramón when he taught football to the children.
According to IMDb, Horacio Gómez gave life to Godínez in 13 episodes of “El Chavo del 8” and played various roles in “El Chapulín Colorado”, in which he performed in 29 episodes. Because he earned, like the rest of the cast, the affection of the public, we specify the date of his death.

REMEMBER HORACIO GÓMEZ IN THE TRIBUTE TO CHESPIRITO
In the tribute to Roberto Gómez Bolaños, broadcast on April 1, 2000, which was called “They did not count on my cunning”, his brother and actor was remembered.
Édgar Vivar, who played Señor Barriga y Ñoño, took the floor: “And well, very especially to Horacio Gómez Bolaños, who also made this neighborhood and the little school, in the role of Godínez, something very special. He was a dear friend”.
At such words, Chespirito couldn’t help but shed a few tears for his younger brother.
Unfortunately, there are not many records of Horacio, since he was one of the actors who did not like to talk much with the press; however, he is remembered for all the characters he brought to life, especially that boy in the yellow suit, dark overalls, and green visor.
