He served the Diocese as a hard worker in the Lord’s Vineyard. While in the Cathedral parish for a couple of years, he helped Bishop Thomas Macwan - Ahmedabad dio. in person on various occasions. Showing care and concern towards visitors was his motto. He has been a wonderful priest who served hospitality to the guests. He was a priest who was ready to forgive and forget.

By nature he was concerned for the poor and the sick.  Often he visited the hospitals and prayed on the sick. He loved to conduct charismatic Prayer and brought healing touch to many people.  He had a special devotion to Mother Mary and he never missed the recitation of Rosary.  Although he appeared physically mighty in structure yet he was simple, soft, friendly, approachable and gentle.

He was presently doing studies in Spirituality at A.V.T. Carmelaram, Banglore. While in Bangalore he developed renal problem for which he was under medication and was relaxing at home. The sad moment came on the 16th around 7.30 p.m. when he had to be admitted in Muller’s hospital, Mangalore for chest pain. The attack was severe which resulted into Cardiac Arrest.

The Diocese of Ahmedabad has lost a fine, hardworking and a praying priest. It has shocked the diocese for his sudden death.
