    Oh God. He died in peace, such a graceful death it was. He was going through the pain but was continued singing. Might be doesn't felt the pain as he so immersed with singing. He was singing till the last second of his life.

    I know jerry from last 10 years. A simple human being and worked as painting and civil contractor. He struggle really hard for his living. Due his generosity many people liked him but his never say no to people not let him to prosper.

    He had great talent and voice it is unfortunate that he came in to light just few years ago. May be his humble background deprived him in exploring and knowing more.

    Whatever song, tune he composed were his own creations. Konkani music very lately recognised such talent. Wish every talented person get equal opportunity at right time to prosper in world.

    May his soul rest in peace.

    You are right. I know him from so many years. I really appreciate the person from Australia give who has sponsored his first music album.
    Also people of Mumbai they give him an opportunity to perform music night last year. This is actually helped Mangalore konkani music world identify him as musicians.
    Is there any way we can help his family I would likely to contribute.

    I met Jerry for the first time some months back while attending a wedding at Bajpe. He was there singing with the band. I went to wish him all the best for his upcoming show and found in him a smiling, simple, humble gentleman and a passionate artist. Yesterday the news of his sudden demise on stage was shocking and sad. Praying may God rest his soul in peace and give strength to his wife and kids and family to bear the loss of their beloved.

    Shocking news...death entangled him While performing!!!
    Most of the comments have expressed his Qualities. Yes he was a hard working person, humble by nature and a simple person. Since i knew him personally, he was always expressive, he was a ardent supporter of Late Wilfy Rebimbus and a fan of Claude, Bendur. Every time when he met i could read his passion towards Konkani Music and culture.
    May his soul rest in Peace. I truly feel his family deserves support in upbringing his children.
    May his soul rest in Peace. Good Lord grant strength to his beloved family to bear the loss.
