The following is a translation
of a notice of the death of Cabrillo Civic Clubs founder, Mr. Manuel
Reis, published in the Portuguese newspaper, "The
Tribune", from San Jose, dated
April 1, 2003
, and translated by Louise
English, member of Cabrillo Club #24 of Santa Cruz.
Nearing the age of 102 years, Mr. Manuel
Gomes da Silva Reis passed away. During the span of many years, he was
the greatest Portuguese leader ever in
California
.
Manuel Reis was born in
Tomar
,
Portugal
, on April 17,1901, and after a stay
in Africa, he came to
Oakland
in 1925, to join his brother, the distinguished physician, Dr. Abilio
Reis, and to be a student. His first position was as Chancellor of the
Portuguese Consulate in
San Francisco
;
then he worked for many years at the Carvalho Travel Agency in
San Francisco
. Mr. Reis joined the Benevolent
Society, called
APPB
, on
Sept. 17, 1927, was named to the Fiscal Committee in August of 1929,
and served as Treasurer of the Society from 1929 to 1933, when the Secretary,
Mr. Figueiredo died unexpectedly on June 14, 1933. He was named as his
interim substitute until the Annual Congress, in August, named him Secretary,
a position which he held until August of 1948. In 1948, a change was
made in the name of the Society, to the Benevolent Society of California,
and with the re-structuring of its Administration, he was elected to
the position of Secretary/Treasurer, which he held until July 1, 1957.
Then, this Society joined the Portuguese Continental Union of the State
of
California
, taking the name of United National
Life Insurance Society/Luso-American Fraternal Federation, for which
he worked tirelessly until his retirement in 1988, at the age of 87.
In the meantime, he was a member and founder of the Cabrillo Civic Clubs
of California in February, 1935, serving as its State President from
1939 to 1940, remaining a leader in this civic organization for more
than 20 years. He also organized the Scholarship Program of the Cabrillo
Clubs, having served as its first Scholarship Chairman. Due to his great
interest in education, he established, in 1957, the Committee of Education,
of the Luso-American Education Foundation, which he served a its Vice-President,
President, and Chairman of the Board, for many years. Because of his
civic activities, in
San Francisco
, he was
named a member of the "Nationalities Group", where he served
from 1935 to 1950. This group organized great patriotic activities during
World War II. Manuel Reis also took a very active part in the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce, and was proud to be a member of
the prestigious Commonwealth Club of California. In 1955, he was honored
with an award by the President of the
Portuguese
Republic
and presented
by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Portugal. Later, he received another
award, and lastly, in 1990, he was given one more award presented by
President Mario Soares of
Portugal
,
himself. In 1967, the State of
California
presented him with a Resolution of Commendation,
approved by the State Assembly, for the relevent services given to the
State of
California
.
Mr. Reis married Henrietta Reis in 1933, who passed away in 1987 after
58 years of marriage. The writer of this article, Rodrigo Alvernaz,
says that he had the pleasure of knowing Manuel Reis for the last 48
years, having worked for him and with him for over 30 years. He says
that he was the person whom he most respected, and was for him, a true
"role model" to whom he honors his memory with this tribute.
May God rest his Soul, as we extend our most sincere condolences to
his
niece, Maria Gomes, the only relative that survived him in the
United States
.
