It is with great sadness to inform you that one of our ex-ESS boys, Aziz Luhar is no more. Aziz did have a heart condition and had open-heart surgery earlier. He was suddenly taken ill and was admitted to Aga Khan Hospital, Nairobi, on the 25th February 2010. He remained in the ICU & HDU and even during his illness, he kept smiling bravely. But at last God eased his pain and took him away on 14th March 2010. May his soul rest in eternal peace! Ameen!

Aziz was a very polite, friendly and the most likeable of colleagues I came across. He was the school Head Prefect in 1963. After leaving ESS in 1963, Aziz got a bursary for further studies in Yugoslavia. He was there for three years. Aziz then joined Rank Xerox as a salesman with his elder brother Hussein. Hussein was also at ESS and unfortunately died in 1998. Just before his death, Aziz was working with Munshiram International in Nairobi as a salesman.

Aziz married Nurfatma in 1973. They had two boys, Faiz and Farhad. After their divorce in 1980, Aziz married Arshad in 1986.

Aziz was a wonderful husband and a good friend to all, whether young or old. He always had a kind word for those he met and greeted others with a smile.

In the 1963 School Prefects photograph, Aziz is seated on Principal Mr. Uppal's left.
