Words cannot describe the deep loss of Adv. Leo Velho who was a thorough gentleman, with an incredible drive. His excellence lay in his kindness, honesty and dedication. His deep rooted smile with soothing words relaxed his clients who thronged his office with their troubles and anxieties, seeking his advice, trusting him knowing very well he will do the needful.
A family friend who has always been there for us through thick and thin, advising and guiding us in our difficult moments. Its been two years since I last met him and am very greatly shocked at his demise. He will always be remembered by one and all in Chinchinim as someone who has engraved his wonderful smile and humble words into the hearts of us all. " I don't know...some say life is too short, others say it is too long, but I know that nothing that we do makes sense if we don't touch the hearts of others." My heartfelt condolences to his wife Rica and his family, may the Lord give them the courage and strength to bear the loss. May his soul rest in peace.
