NARCISO 'Chit'
PIMENTEL
was born in
Intramuros,
Manila on May
22, 1938, the
son and third-
born of the late
Narciso Gonzales
Pimentel jr and
Mildred Kelly
Pimentel. He died
on Friday, January
19, 2018 at St George Hospital, Kogarah.
Chit was educated at the Ateneo de Manila - grade
school, high school, college - and played junior varsity
basketball for the Blue Eaglets and senior varsity for the
Blue Eagles.
He completed a Bachelor of Science in Economics
degree, and went on to work in sales for Gami Automotive,
Channel 7 TV, Ace-Compton Advertising, and Scan Film
Advertising before emigrating to Sydney, Australia, in
1972.
In Sydney, he worked as night auditor of the Boulevard
Hotel in East Sydney, then moved on to Fairfax Magazines
as advertising manager until his retirement.
Chit was an avid hi-fi enthusiast, and became a friend
of the upcoming businessman - and eventually business
owner - Dick Smith among many other executives in the
electronics industry.
He played the piano and electric organ by ear, and
recorded some nostalgic Filipino and Spanish songs for
family and friends. But he was more into classical music
and had library collection of almost every classical piece of
music.
Good with his hand, Chit did a bit of serious carpentry,
renovating the interior of a villa he owned in the Sydney
suburb of Earlwood, where he and wife Cristina lived.
He was an excellent writer. Over a period of three years
some time ago, Chit wrote two books on thriller-fiction. But
he didn't have them published for some reason.
Chit is survived by his wife Cristina, and married
offspring Maricris, Millie, Narciso, and Irene; grandchildren
Christopher, Rachel, and Duncan; great granddaughter
Hailey; older sister Milagros and older brother Jimmy.
Younger sister Margot passed away four years ago. n
