    Felix was my friend on Konkani Stage and a strong competitor when it came to Drama Completions. Chafra’s plays like ‘Sobth Sanusar’ ‘Ankwar Mestri’ ‘Tarne Tarne Morne’ showcased his enormous talent as Actor and Director, winning him many awards. He had this special gift, the knack of impeccable comic timing. In 1989 he along with two other great comedians Dolla and Charles, as ‘Dol-Fel-Chal’ started entertaining the Konkani audience to the full, with their fantastic comic acts during Wilfy Nite’s which they continued for many years. Felix has left behind plentiful good memories. I am sure his passing away is a big loss to his friends and Konkani Stage. May God rest his soul in eternal peace and give courage to his family to bear this great loss.
