Sad demise of Stephen (Steven) Fernandes – XI-B batch of 1972 on 18 Oct. 2016

School buddies …. I am quite dazed and confused with the sudden death of Stephen (Steven) Fernandes – {XI-B batch of 1972} on 18 Oct. 2016. Stephen (Steven) Fernandes funeral mass will be held at St Theresa’s Church in Bandra this Sunday 23 Oct. 2016 at 2.30pm. Cremation will be at Shivaji Park crematorium thereafter.

May Stephen’s soul find everlasting rest !!! While I was in XI-A batch of 1972, he was my class-mate at St. Stanislaus High School, Bandra during our earlier years in school. We spent many many years together in various standards (classes).

Stephen Fernandes was Loyola House Captain during the academic year 1971-72 i.e in our FINAL year of school. This was the year we were in XI standard.
