Rev. Bro. Baptist Croos FSC

Bro. Baptist bid farewell to us at the General Hospital in the Emergency Unit on March 23. He was one of the illustrious sons of St. John Baptist De La Salle.

A charming personality, par excellent writer, eloquent orator and many more things. He possessed all the qualities of a good human being.

This noble person had some very unique qualities. I have never seen him hurt any person nor speak ill of others. He was ever willing to forgive anyone and never hesitated to say the word "sorry" whenever the occasion would demand it.

I have known him well for the last thirty years. During the last five months I had the pleasure of living with him in the same house. Whenever I sought his assistance he always readily obliged wholeheartedly.

It was his encouragement and motivation that propelled me to write on cricket. It is very difficult to find such a genius and humble person of Bro. Baptist's caliber.

Bro. Baptist made many people happy in various ways, especially in singing, cracking jokes and delivering meaningful talks. We do miss you a lot specially among the family of the De La Salle Brothers. Let us live together in spirit.
