Loadedog has a obituary for Ali Parraga, best known to the denizens of Civic as “Silver Man”.
“Today we bear the sad news that Ali Parraga, pictured above dancing to Cicilia Kemezys’ flute, passed away yesterday morning. Many will recall Ali as the ‘Silver Man’ who busked in Civic for many a year. Attendees at January’s Backyard Backanalia will recall his performance with greater poignancy I’m sure, knowing, as we now do, that it was his last.
For those wishing to pay their respects; the memorial service is tomorrow, 27 February, 10am, at Tobin Brothers Funerals, 75 Canberra Ave Kingston.
