Obituary of Luis Tavares
<h1>Luis Tavares</h1>
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Luis Tavares, beloved husband of Heidi Tavares (nee Paulini), loving father of Kolina Tavares age 15yrs and Kelsey Tavares-age 12yrs, son of Ferdinand Russell, brother of Gabe and Paul Tavares, predeceased by father Jose Tavares, brother Joseph Tavares and sister-in-law Ingrid Schmidt (nee Paulini). Son-in-law Luis will be greatly missed by Michael and Katherina Paulini and many aunts, uncles, cousins and nephews Gabriel and David (and his buddy Patch). Luis had many friends and they will have an empty place in their lives but have been better for knowing him. Special thanks to all our friends and also to Dr. Jagas, Dr. Knight, Dr. Keleher and all their staff, and to all the CCAC nurses who made it possible for Luis to remain at home. Thank you to WRPS PLT. #4 communications for all their kindness and continuing support.
Luis was a proud member of the Transylvania Club and of Pilgrim Lutheran Church. Luis loved life and he has gone now to play the best golf courses in heaven. He will forever be with us in our hearts and in our memories. We love you Luis, see you in heaven.
