Dears,
It is really sad to hear of Alfie's {Alfred D'Souza of Saligao Abreuvaddo]
death. Britto boys of my age will
remember the very gentlemanly Alfred from the first year of the new course
SSC of 1975. He follows his class mate, Charlton, and his own brother Eric's
footsteps...in dying young. He was a nice soul. He was earler a Radio
Officer on the ship and now working for ONGC offshore in Mumbai as a radio
operator.
Alfred expired of a massive heart attack last night in Margao, where he had
gone for a check up after complaining of tiredness and pain. Alfred Vincent
de Souza, son of Joan and Late Eddie De Souza, leaves behind his wife
Lynette, and three wonderful children, Shawna[11 years], Conroy[10] and the
little Annika[6].
In 1986, I met his brother for the first time as he was interested in
mushrooms. The end of the
year was also the end of Eric. He died of a road accident. Truly, Death
comes like a thief....and takes the most valuable persons from amongst us.
Alfie's wife, Lynette, is the sister of my classmate, Tommy D'Souza [SSC
class of 1976], the Franchisee of NIIT in Goa and Panch of the Assagao
Village Panchayat . She is also the sister of Ivonne[ wife of Rui Gama of
Verna]; Sr.Mariazita A.C. and Arsenia aka Fatima[ wife of Antonio of Aldona]
and Gerard.
So sad, so nice, the days that are no more.
Miguel
