In Memoriam DR. A.C. L. de SOUSA 1893 - 1958 See GOACOM BIOGRAPHY SERIES ~ OF HEROES The Founder http://www.goacom.com/culture/biographies/drsous.html Also DR. A.C. L. de SOUSA THE FOUNDER OF THE "GOAN OVERSEAS ASSOCIATION" AND A GREAT PROTAGONIST OF GOAN EDUCATION IN EAST AFRICA http://www.goacom.com/culture/biographies/goanedu.html Excerpt/- On the morning of Thursday the 17th July, 1958, he died. But half an hour before his death, he enquired about the affairs of the Goans Overseas Association and the School, both these institutions which he had founded, and of which he was still the head. For 44 years he had worked for his people in this Colony, and indeed, as the Honourable N.S. Mangat, Q.C., M.L.C., expressed it - "even in death he looked magnificent..." the spontaneous manner in which Goans paid tribute to him both at his funeral and a t the Condolence Meeting showed that they would not forget the services he rendered and the irreparable loss they suffered by his death.
