career was marked by his
total devotion to teaching

well as the love of
neighbor. For many years, he

Charity, of Bauru (SP). A
retired banker since 1986, a

highlights how, under
spiritual guidance, it is
possible to develop relief
actions in favor of people
who think of committing
suicide.
Simonetti was being treated
for cancer at the Unimed

place in the Noble Hall 2 of
the Centro Terra Branca and
the burial was at 9:00 am on
