Gualbance driving school founder dies

Praimchan Gual- .bance, 80, started teaching people to drive since 1971 and established the school starting off with one car at his home in Libertville. The driving school fraternity mourns his passing, Gualbance having built his driving school business into a fleet of over 15 vehicles which taught many prominent politicians, medical doctors and attorneys to learn the art of driving on our nation’s roads.

He passed on the driving school business to his children.

Gualbance leaves to mourn his wife Teresa and children Frankie, Carlo, Kenny, Buma, Dilip, Tara and Angela.

A driving school instructor in San Fernando, Edward Rattan, in expressing sadness over his passing, said that Gualbance taught former minister and Central Bank Governor Winston Dookeran and former FIFA vice-president and minister Jack Warner who are originally from Rio Claro, how to drive.

Gualbance’s brother, Sam Sieunarine Lal Gualbance who left the driving school business and migrated to Canada, is a well known philanthropist who for the past several years, have donated thousands of dollars worth in items to primary school children in Rio Claro and Biche. Lal Gualbance is president of one of Canada’s thriving sea food distribution companies.
