There was sadness and tears when I heard of the death of Fr. Ernesto Nidini, MI. He was such a good and non-assuming guy. We worked and lived together in Bangalore, India for six months in 1985.
In my opinion, without the dedication and tireless effort of Ernie, the Indian delegation would never have flourished like it is now. He was its soul and spirit.
May you enjoy your eternal reward in heaven, Ernie.
