During the revelry,,,

Please give a thought and say a prayer for one more who has left us.

We just received this from 62er Adil Gandhy:



Dear Jacob,

Just heard some bad news about another old Cathedralite called Danny Hillel.

I think he was from the class of the mid sixties, (exactly which year I do not know.) He has a brother called Henry who is a very senior Rabbi in Israel, who was in my class of 1961-62.

Danny apparently died yesterday (30th Dec) in Goa, where he had been living since many years apparently.

Since he had no living relatives living with him in Goa, the Israeli consulate flew his body down to Bombay, where a local Jewish friend named Solomon Sopher took care of the rituals & rites and he was interred in a Jewish cemetry here in Bombay today morning (December 31st 2006).

My friend Reuben Solomon of Manchester just called to give me the news and asked that I pass it onto you so that many other friends of Danny would come to know through your Blog.

May his sould rest in peace.

Regards,

Adil Gandhy




As we take time to wish you into a New Year, we hope all of you will stand in silence remembering many of our friends who are no more and we pray for their relatives who will remember them as the old year passes on and the New Year leaps in.
