| Funeral

SANTOSH SHETTY in Canada
Edited excerpt of an article from Gulf Daily News posted
on Goa-Net by Domnic Fernandes of Anjuna/Dhahran
HUNDREDS of former Bahrain residents attended a funeral
in Mississauga, Canada, to pay their last respects to
Charles Alvares, who died in late July after a prolonged
fight against cancer. |
Mr.
Alvares, aged 72, lived in Bahrain for 35 years, and
was unit manager with life insurance firm ALICO, before
retiring to Canada in August 1996 to join his daughters
and their families.
The former president of the Karnataka Sports Club and
vice-president of the Young Goans Club, was one of the
most widely respected members of the Indian expatriate
community in Bahrain.
He was also an avid bridge player. He passed on his
expertise in a book he wrote entitled ' Precision Bridge
for Anyone'.
Committee
members of the various expatriate clubs he was associated
with in Bahrain regarded him as a father-figure and
role model and frequently consulted him on various issues.
They
remember him as "a thorough gentleman and the epitome
of grace and dignity - a straight-shooter, never afraid
to speak his mind but, at the same time, always mindful
of the feelings of others".
Among
the numerous visitors at the palliative care unit of
the Credit Valley Hospital recently was Father Felicio
Diniz, parish priest at Bahrain's Sacred Heart Church,
who was holidaying in Canada.
Mr.
Alvares leaves a widow Gemma, daughters Charlotte, (her
husband George De Couto, their children Clyde, 21, and
Gary, 20) and Ginette (her husband Eddie D'Souza and
their children Carina, 10, and Jason, eight).
The
funeral mass was held at St Francis Xavier Church in
Mississauga People in Bahrain wishing to send e-mail
