May Victor have strength to bear with the loss of his life partner and close collaborator. In recent years, I had got to know Lea quite closely, one of the many friends made over Goanet, and she was most supportive when Victor spent long hours mentoring younger talent back in Goa, via the GoaWriters network and other initiatives.
