Rest in peace Rev. George David. Redeem the rewards for your selfless service to the islanders, catering to their spiritual and educational needs for more than half a century. Your journey from an aeronautical engineer to a man of God is itself an amazing testimony of how God chooses His servants. Your toils in the jungles of Middle Andaman to bring spiritual succor to the people there and the school you founded will be remembered forever. You’ve been a spiritual mentor and counselor for my family, sharing our joys and sorrows. We shall remain ever grateful to you for this. Your edifying sermons will be heard no more, but the memories will continue to linger.
