1927 - 2024

Luiz Gomes, beloved husband of Blanche, passed away peacefully on the 11th of April, 2024, surrounded by his family.

Born in Goa, he was the eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. Gomes, where his journey through life began.

Luiz's early years were marked by a passion for music, acting, and singing. He attended a prestigious school run by German Fathers, where his talents flourished. Excelling in music, he particularly shone as a talented trumpeter, captivating audiences as a vital part of his school's orchestra.

After completing his education, Luiz embarked on a distinguished career in banking. For thirty years, he served with dedication and integrity in various locations for Barclay's Bank, earning the respect and appreciation of his peers and colleagues at the Institute of Bankers.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Luiz was a man of diverse interests and passions. He possessed a deep love for theatre, music, and literature, with a reputation as a great dancer and avid reader. His vibrant personality earned him the title of the life and soul of any gathering.

He will be deeply missed by his devoted wife Blanche and their three daughters, Lynette Miranda (Angelo), Melonie Maguire (Mike), and Vanessa Meraw (Peter). His four grandchildren, Liam (Denielle) and Aidan Maguire, and Maya and Daniella Meraw, brought him immense happiness and fulfillment.

As we bid farewell to Luiz, we honour his remarkable life and the mark he left on all who knew him.

May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his memory continue to inspire and uplift us. Arrangements with McEachnie Funeral Home.
