Ant\u00f3nio Nascimento, founder of \u00d3ptica Nascimento<\/a> in Aveiro, has passed away, leaving a void in all those who had the privilege of knowing him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On its official Facebook page, his team bade him farewell with these words: \u201cIt is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Ant\u00f3nio Nascimento, our founder. We thank him for everything he taught us, for a lifetime of dedication and for the example he leaves us. We will continue to honour his legacy every day, with the same care and rigour he always instilled in us. Farewell, Mr. Nascimento.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Ant\u00f3nio Nascimento was honoured with the Career Award at the \u00d3pticaPro Awards<\/a>. At the awards ceremony in April, he said that receiving the prize \u201cwas an emotional surprise and a moment that will stay in my memory forever. A career is built day by day, with dedication, with constant learning and, above all, with the people who accompany us along the way.\u201d He added: \u201cI would also like to congratulate the organisers of this event. More than a moment of celebration, it is a unique space for meeting, sharing and fellowship among professionals who live optics with passion. And, let\u2019s face it, these moments of genuine connection between colleagues only happen here. On behalf of the \u00d3ptica Nascimento team, we hope this event continues to unite the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relationship with \u00d3pticaPro, however, goes back much further. Ant\u00f3nio Nascimento was the star of our second cover, in February 2005, and contributed to the magazine in several other issues. You can read again the interview<\/a> he gave us more than 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this moment of grief, the \u00d3pticaPro team extends its heartfelt condolences to Ant\u00f3nio Nascimento\u2019s family and friends, bidding farewell to a man who left his mark on the optical sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
