Sad to hear about the passing of our former teacher at Loyola High School, Margao. He was a very fine teacher. During my time at the school, Fr. Vivian Lobo was not the Principal - he might have been the Vice-Principal. My Principal at the school was Fr. Savio Rodrigues.
Anyway, being part of the naughty group at the school, we used to sometimes teasingly refer to Fr. Vivian as "Jacko-the-parrot" - a character in our French text book. I am not sure why we gave him that name - it might have been because he had a slightly downward bending nose like that of a parrot. We were nasty spoilt kids. May his soul rest in peace.

Vivian Lobo SJ passed away last night after a brief illness. He was hospitalized at Vision Hospital, Duler Mapusa, in .November, 2013 because of high urea in the blood and discharged after undergoing dialysis. He was recuperating at the Jesuit Community in St. Britto, Mapusa. Hailing from the village of Siolim, Fr. Vivian Lobo SJ was an accomplished teacher and a good administrator. A good part of the English I write is thanks to his grooming at St. Britto High School in the early and mid-1970s when he was my teacher. He was the Principal at Loyola High School & Junior College, Pune, from 1986 to 1990 and thereafter at Loyola High School, Margao, till 2007, when Fr. Willaim Rodrigues SJ took over and he remained there as the Rector. May his soul rest in peace. The funeral cortege will leave the Priests' Residence, St. Britto High School, Mapusa at 3.45 P.M. for the Eucharistic celebration at St. Jerome's Church, Mapusa, follwed by the final rites.
