Judy Luis-Watson sent me the sad news that her Dad Jerry Luis had passed to his permanent home. May his soul rest in peace. By coincidence Inn a few hours I will be going to pray at Don Bosco's ....Eva his Widow. We offer you our condolence. Rest In Peace Jerry. .
I was seven years old when I heard Jerry play the accordion ....there were 10 Goan Families, there were toddlers, the in between and teenagers. When Judy wrote the book and the MSS was sent to me by the publishers....I was struck that Jerry was a unique human being....he fought racism, castism ....To me the book was the autobiography of a Band ....That was review was really to Jerry and his mates for bringing music and understanding.among all people. Franky, Peter Nazareth, Mary and other relatives plus the hundreds of friends that lived in Tanganyika/Tanzania/Zanzibar. Lets have a minute of silence to respect Jerry an Icon of the Goans and a such human.
