Vaz Uncle, we will never forget banging your door down for Christmas sweets and also the odd knocks and run away, needless to say you always knew who it was. Not to mention the nick names we all got from you.
It has been a sad moment when I was reading about your loss and floods the memory of Rosie Apartments you and Aunty and all.
You will always be Uncle Vaz for me and god bless your soul and your family in this time of mourning, but Uncle its a celebration of a beautiful soul that you were and his life too.

Uncle Vaz as we fondly call him, was a man of super character. He was charming even when we were breaking his windows while playing cricket as young boys at Rosie Apartments. His family carries the same traits and I wish them the best at this moment of loss. Manish (Monu) Bazari, +919821233977
