Today is Gonzaga's 47th birthday.
All of us who knew him would definitely call or email to wish him and he would return the call or email expressing his deep appreciation at the thoughtfulness.
He was a large person but even larger was his heart that reached out to one and all.

ReplyDeleteDearest Fr. Anand & my dear friend Jose,
I’m deeply shocked with no more words to express the loss of my friend Gonzaga Paes.
I just don’t know what has taken the toll on him.
had a sincere wish to meet Gonzaga someday, that may revive our old memories of Brittos.
I guess that was not in our destiny.
May God grant him eternal peace, I weep and pray.
Please accept my sincere condolences and sympathies to you and all in the family, specially your parents who were witness to this untimely sad moment.

I’m deeply moved by the number of write-ups in Britto Net and this memorial blog site that have poured following the death of Gonzaga.
I’m shocked by his sudden demise.
in St. Brittos High School , memory serves me right, we were bench / class mates from 9th Std.
Jolly good fellow, full of naughty smiles with a soul of an angel; I can still recollect his person shining at the school passing out parade of 1979.
After leaving Brittos we seem to have been in different worlds, far apart from each other.
Nevertheless, I had always wished to meet him in person sometime, someday in our ever-land Goa. Destiny is such and I now feel his loss. May God grant him eternal rest.
I herewith extend my sincere condolences to Fr. Anand Pais, Jose Pais, all his family members and off course all BOBs/friends/well wishers who have associated with him and share this moment of grief.
Indeed we have lost an adorable friend.
All that is written in this memorial blog archive speaks for itself - Gonzaga da Gama Pais, my old schoolmate.
