Obituary - Vitor Peres



  



Sr Vitor Manuel M. Peres

Nacseu: 25/05/1941

Faleceu: 27/12./2021





Dina and Vitor had been married for 55 years at the time of his passing.

She was asked if she would like an eulogy published in the Blog in his memory. She was very pleased with this idea and said it would be a consolation.






Vítor joined the AWW when he retired from being a banker, around 2000/2001. For some years he was a regular.




Together with Dina



He was a quiet man and very often kept to himself. Because of this, not many realised that he had profound knowledge of Portuguese colonial Africa. One always learned something new when discussing that part of the world with him. 




  He was also very generous in offering help to friends and neighbours who required assistance. He would often go out of his way to do so.








About 10 years ago he stopped walking with us due to health reasons. Since then, we still occasionally met up for some outdoor activities and updated each other on the phone. His last meeting with us was in 2018 at the 20th Anniversary of AWWs.


He will be missed and remembered.
