Dr. Edward J. Monteiro

Dr. Edward J. Monteiro, age 87, of Clinton, formerly of Utica, passed away on Tuesday, July 4, 2006 at the Martin Luther Home. Born in India on May 31, 1919, Edward was the son of the late Albert George and Cecelia (Scholastica) Monteiro. He was raised and educated in his native land. At one time Dr. Monteiro was a surgeon in the Indian Army. He then moved to England where he worked in the challenging field of emergency care. Upon his relocation to the U.S., he accepted a position as a psychologist with the Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center where he practiced psychology until his retirement in 1995. As a man who was well-versed and highly competent in his chosen field, he earned the respect of his colleagues. Edward was a quiet and unassuming man, one who took deep pride in his heritage and who was always willing to share experiences. He was a loyal parishioner of St. Mary’s Church, South St. Dr. Monteiro is survived by a brother and sister-in-law, Wilfred and Emily Monteiro of England; a niece, Petra Leveton and her husband; and a great-niece, Cara Leveton. He also leaves his longtime and close friends, Al and Anna Cannucciari of N. Utica who provided him devoted friendship, and the benefits of being a member of their extended family. Edward was preceded in death by several siblings who passed away in infancy. Sincere gratitude is extended to all those who cared for Dr. Monteiro with such kindness, and professionalism, especially Dr. Mannava, and the staff of the Lutheran Home and more recently those of the Martin Luther Home. There will be no public visitation. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Dr. Monteiro’s Mass of Christian Burial which will be celebrated on Friday morning at 9:30 at St. Mary’s Church on South St. with the Reverend John Buehler presiding. At the conclusion of Mass, there will be a receiving line so that visitors may express their condolences. Please omit floral offerings. For those wishing to do so, please consider memorial contributions in Dr. Edward’s honor to St. Mary’s Church; envelopes will be available at the service. Interment will take place in St. Agnes Cemetery at the convenience of the family.
