Scores of persons from all walks of life yesterday turned out to say farewell to prominent businessman, 52-year-old Naeem Nasir, who was laid to rest at a Muslim burial ground in Crane Village, West Coast Demerara.
He was the proprietor of Guyana’s largest bakery- Bakewell, Roti Hut, and the Rituals Coffee Shop at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri.
Those in attendance of the funeral service held at Merriman Mall included President Donald Ramotar; Leader for A Partnership for National Unity, David Granger; officials of the Central Islamic Organization of Guyana (CIOG); and a large cross section of the Muslim community.
Ramotar during his address to the large gathering noted that Mr. Nasir was a well respected businessman who made significant contributions to society. The President also took the opportunity to extend condolences to the Nasir family.
APNU Leader David Granger noted that Nasir’s death is a huge loss for the business community and country as a whole. This view was shared by many others.
Nasir, who died on Tuesday at the Balwant Singh Hospital after a period of illness, was said to have been a silent donor to the Doobay Renal Centre, a regular contributor to charitable initiatives by CIOG and several other groups.
The Bakewell Soup Kitchen which is now on hold was also one of the many ventures he undertook.
Nasir is survived by his wife and two sons.
