Mr Alvito Lopes leaves for heavenly abode After ailing for sometimes, the glorious innings of 96 years have finally come to close on 24 October 2017, at Nagzarkar Hospital, Chinchinim., He passed away peacefully after medical intervention proved fruitless .He lived a satisfied, purposeful and happy life with the family. He served creditably the Railways and was based at Miraj. He was ever willing to extend help and was at hand to assist fellow travelers specially villagers. After retirement he opened a business to keep himself occupied. • He was a prominent, respected citizen and socially committed. He was a deeply religious person steeped in faith and which blessed the family with two vocations of a priest and a nun. .He was the member of the Parish Council, Eucharistic Minister, Executive member of Fabrica, and Confraria, where his valuable contributions for many years are a matter of enviable records. He was also a member of Chinchinim-Deussua Panchayat. Besides he was the President of Chinchinim and Deussua Communinades .He served as the President of Holy Cross Chapel Dandeavado, and St Sebastiao Chapel at Bandfoll, as the resident representative of Chinchinim Deussua Club based in Bombay. He carried on as the President of Public distribution Society and his role strengthened the institution .He survived a fatal attack while spearheading the social revolt against duck grazers from outside the State polluting our cultivable fields. There is no doubt that he was very special person from DANDEAVADO, Chinchinim Village to have held various positions of honour ,responsibility and delivered to best of his ability and remains an outstanding icon of social and religious commitments for the village. Chinchinim Village has been orphaned by the loss of a prominent, respected, religious social leader and remains an example to be emulated. He is survived by his wife Brigida, sons Fr Tony, Mr Alberto, Mr Savio, and daughters Ms.Filu, Ms Angela And Sister Laura and their families Funeral cottage will leave his residence to O. L. Hope Chinchinim at 4.30 pm to be followed by Eucharistic celebrations and last rites Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
