The venerable Mr. A. C. Morales, under whose supervision most of us grew up while at the College, passed away (official press release) at Ruttonjee Hospital on September 1, 2011, at about 5:50pm. Former disciplinarian Mr. C. C. Mak was among those who went to say goodbye, and reported that the late principal had left this world peacefully.

The funeral service will proceed the next day, followed by cremation at Cape Collinson Crematorium at 2:00pm. We are going to be sending flowers on behalf of the alumni in Ontario.
If you have any thoughts or memories of Mr. Morales you would like to share, please leave a comment at the official To Sir With Love memorial blog.
Mr. Morales was my home teacher when I was young and foolish he corrected me many time and gave me the guiding principles in life which I followed. There were so much memory of him that is hard to put one into words. Our last meeting was to celelbrate our 40th graduation from Raimondi in 2005. I can still see that smile vividly as I type this note to the memory of a great teacher and friend.
Thanks for everything
