After the war Luiz studied at the London School of Economics and was recruited by the colonial service. He met his second wife Jutta and they had three daughters, Petra, Deirdre and Hilary. Luiz took his young family to Sierra Leone in 1951 serving there for ten years until independence in 1961. While working for the Sierra Leoneon government, he studied as an external candidate for a law degree and was called to the bar at Grey's Inn. He met his third wife Mina in Sierra Leone and had two children, Judith and James.He returned to England in 1966 and started working as a Crown Prosecutor for Custom and Excise. He then became the Courts Administrator for the North of England working in Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester. He retired in 1981, meeting his wife Clara, who shared the same pastimes as him of music and walking. They walked in the Himalayas together and have spent the last twenty seven years, happily hopping all over the world together. He sadly died on 17th April 2015. |
