Yes, our families have many happy memories of shared good times in Saligao and we remember your Mum and Dad, Aunty Phyllis and Uncle Eddie with great affection. Patsy, our congratulations to Kathy - I understand she graduated from high school last summer. She is such a lovely and poised young lady. What is she studying now? Our very best wishes to you, Kathy and Fred.

The Cordeiros and the Saldanhas (my family), among many others, were well known for their talent when it came to performances at the Saligao Institute. I have very pleasant memories of the many hours of fun we would have at the Cordeiro and Saldanha homes preparing for some of these social events. While A Vimy and my mum (A. Phyllis) were usually at the helm where training was concerned, Uncle Anselm and Uncle Eddie (my dad) played important roles too, always there to lend a hand with the props and making valuable suggestions from an 'audience' perspective. Those were the days (my friend).......as the song goes! and I am so glad to have so many happy memories of growing up in Saligao. Uncle Anselm will undoubtedly be missed by many. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers are with you, A Vimy, Frances, Carol, Yvette, and Vanessa, and your families.

Uncle Anselm, as we knew him, was a kindly senior citizen, who always greeted us with a smiling face! As coincidences would go, when Mario and Muriel and Alice met up with me a couple of days ago, outside the Saligao church, we were remembering Aunty Vimmie and Uncle Anselm, and their involvement in environmental campaigns in Goa in the 'eighties and early 'nineties!

He will be deeply missed by his loving wife Vimy and his daughters Frances (C.Y.Wong), Carol, Yvette and Vanessa (Sushil Peres-da-Silva) and his grandchildren, Shaun, Althea, Kate and Rhea. Anselmo was born in Dar-es-salaam, Tanzania on April 21, 1925. He spent his childhood in Goa, India, before pursuing a career in the oil industry, first in Abadan, Iran and then in Tanzania, East Africa. For the last 15 years he had made his home in Nanaimo, Canada. Anselmo will be remembered for his efforts in advocacy for social justice in Goa. In Nanaimo, he was actively involved in the Marion and Pro-life movements, with the Clay Tree Society and with the Knights of Columbus. He will live on in the hearts of all those who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be held at Trinity Catholic Church, 6234 Spartan Rd, Nanaimo on Sat, January 2, 2010 at 1.30pm followed by a Celebration of his Life. The family would like to extend their special thanks to all their friends and extended family for their caring, support and help through his illness. We would also like to express our appreciation and gratitude for the excellent care provided by those on his health care team for their compassionate care and support. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Canadian Cancer Society or The Victoria Hospice Society. -- Frederick Noronha Columnist :: journalism editing :: alt.publishing, photography :: blogging Landline :: +91-832-2409490 Mobile :: +91-9822122436 784 Saligao 403511 Goa India Goa,1556 :: http://goa1556.goa-india.org Photos :: http://photosfromgoa.notlong.com Forthcoming from Goa,1556: http://tiny.cc/peppercorns -- This message comes via the Google Groups "Saligao-Net" group.
