ERNESTO VELA ALVARADO
Date of Passing: Mar 23, 2016
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryERNESTO VELA ALVARADO It is with unbearable sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Ernesto Vela Alvarado, on March 23, 2016. Ernesto will always be remembered by his family: his eldest son Ernesto Vela and Amra Kulenovic, his younger son Carlos Vela and Claire Falgui, our mother Julia Baires-Arauz, his mother-in-law Carmen A. Martinez, his brother Guillermo Vela and Doris Vela, his friend from infancy Mauricio Diaz and all his friends and colleagues that were always concerned for his wellbeing and were a part of his life. Ernesto was born in San Salvador, El Salvador, May 7, 1943. He graduated as a psychologist from the University of El Salvador and as a neuropsychologist from Tulane University in New Orleans as a Fulbright Scholar. While living in El Salvador, he was professor and Dean of the Faculty of Sciences and Humanities at the University of El Salvador and professor at the Central American University in San Salvador. He immigrated with his family to Canada in 1985 as a refugee from the civil war in his country. In Winnipeg, he practiced as a psychologist at the Health Sciences Centre for 25 years and worked endlessly to help refugees and immigrants assimilate to their new country through his work at the Mount Carmel Clinic and the NEEDS Centre. Literature was the world through which he engaged life, both as an insatiable reader and as a writer. We express our eternal gratitude to all his friends who visited him these last few months; those who always expressed their concern and to the caregivers at the Misericordia Health Centre who provided a warm care these past two months. A service will be held Wednesday, March 30 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Neil Bardal Funeral Centre, 3030 Notre Dame Avenue (across from Brookside Cemetery).

Ernesto Vela fue el profesor más influyente en mi vida profesional. Gracias a él nos transformamos en mejores personas no solamente por los profundos conocimientos y habilidades transmitidas, sino por su pertinente crítica creadora de la realidad social, clínica y científica, por la necesaria implicación del psicólogo en la historia y por su fascinante sentido del humor. Pienso en Usted Maestro Neto Vela riendo y llorando al mismo tiempo recordando momentos tan profundos como divertidos. Nos quedamos huérfanos de maestro y perdemos un gran amigo, pero como dice un colega más arriba, Usted vivirá siempre en nuestros corazones y está presente en mi trabajo cotidiano con mis pacientes, colegas y alumnos. Expreso mis sinceras condolencias a sus hijos y familiares más cercanos. Que el recuerdo de su humanismo y su amor por todos ustedes pueda aportar el consuelo en estos momentos. A su familia, todo mi cariño. - Posted by: Eduardo Cisneros (Estudiante y amigo) on: Apr 01, 2016

Lo conoci primero como alumno de secundaria en el colegio Don Bosco en 1973. Luego fui alumno suyo en la UCA en 1977. Persona muy significativa en la vida de sus estudiantes y colegas, influyo en mi opcion epistemologica por la Neuropsicologia, que sigo ejerciendo en Montreal. Hombre de gran cultura y de profundo pensamiento cientifico. Su desaparicion constituye una enorme pérdida... Nunca lo olvidaré, querido Maestro Vela. - Posted by: Fredi Villalobos (Amigo y antiguo alumno) on: Mar 30, 2016

Lo conocí en casa de Isabel y Glen. Aunque nuestra relación sólo se remontaba a las conversaciones en casa de mis buenos amigos, siempre fue un placer hablar con él acerca de escritores hispano-americanos, nueva trova y jazz. Voy a extrañar nuestras charlas. Descansa en paz compay. - Posted by: Hugo Rafael Brizuela Crespo () on: Mar 30, 2016
