    A great Loss to the Diocese of Mangalore and Education field . He was a simple but committed, hardworking priest ,a silent worker.
    Being closely associated with Fr. Edwin I know how he slogged to establish PU College and later degree college at remote place like Naravi.. Then at Anegudde a newly erected parish , the challenges faced to establish and develop it.. in the initial stages. He did it efficiently.
    May the Almihty grant strength to the beloved family members to accept the loss of Fr. Edwin. May His Soul Rest In Peace.

    Fr Edwin was my good friend and he was an active member of Catholic PU Principals' Association in Mangalore. Remember meeting him on many occasions. He was a very loving and affectionate person. Always thought of how to help students and staff at St Sebastian PU College. Remember attending the Annual Day over there. May God give you eternal rest dear Fr Edwin.
