“Septic shock, tension pneumothorax, community-acquired pneumonia, femoral fracture.” In this way, the death certificate of Almiro Elias David Zarur, our unforgettable master Zarur, describes his cause of death, which occurred on November 8, 2021, at 101 years of age. We hadn't heard from him since around August 2021, when we found out about his hospitalization due to a fractured femur. Zarur had lost his wife a few years earlier, had no children, and lived alone. I really believe that, after breaking his leg, he became very depressed, he didn't want to talk to anyone anymore. He was a happy person by vocation, and only liked to talk about happy things. Finally, we have the confirmation of the passing away of our great friend and artist, who left us a wonderful legacy of beautiful chess and musical compositions!"  Marcos Roland

"Very,very sad news. Zarur was a talented composer, who left a precious collection of masterpieces. And one of the last remainders of a golden generation of Brazilian Composition. An irreparable loss, he will be sorely missed."  Zalmen Kornin

"Shocking news.
A man who pushed the boundaries of chess composition."  
 Neal Turner

So sad. I was in touch with him and trying to get his original for my Problemist column.

"I was lucky to obtain the wonderful book of his collection "Subtleties on 64 squares" (out of print I think now). So many wonderful problems!"  seetharaman kalyan
 "He was a good person. He use to come to the Congress with his wife. We had many nice conversations. A good composers as well. He will be missed."  Mike Prcic
