I have extended expensive support to the Rev. Mascarenhas over the years. One can surely count on JMJ to assist billionaires in their last agony. eric.
----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Joel Mascarenhas <j Eric, I had the privilege to celebrate the funeral service and the mass and the burial, since we were neighbors in Dhobitalao where we lived opposite Vienna Hotel since childhood. After marriage he moved out from there. We were just two families staying on the third floor. The funeral was an event to acknowlege for there were people from all walks of life, his school mates, his colleagues from Abbot n Merck, his own Glenmark people and friends and doctors. The church was full to overflowing into the graves on all sides of St Andrew's Church Bandra and the cemetry was packed too with people who came there and could not come to Bandra since it was announced on the Times News Paper that morning and the funeral Mass was on Sunday at 10.30. joel : >*GREAT GOANS* >By: Radharao F.Gracias > >* * > > This last week, saw the death of Gracias Saldanha, undisputedly >the richest Goan, in the world.
