It is indeed a very sad day for all of us who were associated closely with him. He was my great inspiration and mentor and a guiding spirit. He was a great priest and priest of poor and downtroden. He worked for the poor, to educate them to guide them and know their rights, he also instrumental in guiding youths for governmental jobs, a fearless priest who spoke against corrupt people and party. A man of vision.. May his soul rest in peace. |
