    A rarest of rare human being who worked very hard and fought every difficulties of life but never forgotten to give back to the society in every possible way. His contribution to the church, schools, colleges and many more institutions are so much huge beyond 1 acre of land he donated to Pastoral center highlighted here. He was a very silent warrior did everything to his best to give back to the people in every ways possible. He is our role model and we Cornelio families worldwide will always miss him. John Bab tearfully adevs Tuka.
