Sandford DeSales, a Goan Catholic born and brought up in Bandra and an employee with the Bank of India was among the victims of the Tuesday's explosions. It was only a week ago that the second class traveller switched to first class. Quite unusually on this occassion he sat next to the window instead of at the footboard where he generally stood, said Claudius, a national hockey referee suggesting that Sandford had no way of jumping out like some of the survivors. His body, robbed of his gold chain, wallet and mobile, was found at the KEM Hospital morgue. He is remembered as a very fine hockey player and football goalkeeper. Stanford is survived by his wife Janet and daughter Alicia (11). He is the son of Anthony and Marie DeSales; brother of Francisco, Claudius/Sharon, Romulos and Father Savio (St. Andrew's, Bandra); uncle of Amanda and Shaniya. The funeral was held at 5:30 p.m on 17th July 2006 at Mt. Carmel Church, Bandra. (Courtesy: Christabel Mendes, Mumbai)
