Remembered the few departed whom I know specially today:

• Getrude Pinto (grandma-maternal)
• Raymond Pinto (grandpa-maternal)
• Charles D'Souza (uncle)
• Charles Castilino (grandpa-paternal)
• Anthony Castilino (uncle)
• Elias Castilino (uncle)
• Fr John Lens
• Fr Benjamin Puthota
• Fr Mauro Casaroti
• Fr C. Thomas
• Br Gabriel Fernandez
• Fr Ronald Menezes (my Rector while at Matunga)
• Br P.M. Thomas (while at Nashik)
• Fr Varricatt John (confessor while at Karunapuram)
• Fr P.E. Abraham
• Fr M.D. Jacob
• Inna Reddy (novitiate companion)
• Fr Pasala Jojappa (novitiate companion)
• T. Anand (novitiate companion)

These are the only two photos (hard copies) I have with me - the only ones I've ever had for a long long time... and all three of them have left an indelible mark on me as a person. Am really thankful to God for them!

Grandpa (Aab) and Grandma (Odlimai)
