Respected Members
of the Unvalla Family, Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have gathered here to offer our heartfelt condolences for the
untimely and unfortunate demise of our dear
Ervad Jamshed P. Unvalla.
He had faithfully served the “Bai
Dhunmai & Cawasji Dadabhai Daremeher” from his childhood
while assisting his late father and later alongside his late brother
Dasturji Nadirshah P. Unvalla. He
had have served the Atash Padshah as a Mobed, he had served The
Bangalore Parsee Zoroastrian Anjuman as a Trustee and Honorary
Treasurer, and he had also served The Bangalore Zoroastrian
Association as its President. We
all know of his total dedication, unfailing loyalty, he had to our
community and institutions, and never expected anything in return.
His noble services went far beyond the dedication of the Holy Atash
Padshah and his other regular priestly duties.
His idea of service
encompassed the entire gamut of service to the Zoroastrian Faith, to
our Agiary, but above all to those who approached him for his help
and assistance. He was
always there for all and many, giving guidance and comfort in their
hour of need and in their bereavement.
His self-less service went
far beyond his religious duties. Even
years after his retirement form the Central Bank of
After a short period in
We also wish to record the support given by his late wife Katie who
was always behind him in all his endeavors and who in her own way
served our Atash Padshah, the Agiary, and the Anjuman with great
devotion. In their own
example, his sons Aspy and Cyrus have followed suit and have always
been there to help and lend yeomen service whenever needed.
He was a loving father to all his children and faced all his
challenges in his life with cheerful fortitude.
Unlike most, he was not only blessed with the pleasure of
numerous grand-children but he also had the special honor of being a
great-grandfather. Like
his sons we hope the future generations will follow in your
footsteps.
Since his retirement from the Central Bank of
Our community
today prays for the loss of a great son of the Bangalore Parsees
community. We pray that
Ahura Mazda grant his
entire family courage to bear this untimely loss.
May His Soul Rest in
Eternal Peace!
Yours in grief,
On behalf of ourselves
and the Anjuman,
The Trustees of
