Ex-Sarpanch and one of the most popular personalities of Navelim, Bishut was 71; he is survived by his wife and three daughters.
Bishut served two terms (between 2010 to 2018) as Executive Committee Member of the Goa Football Association (GFA).
He was President of Navelim Villagers Union in the past and was currently President of Navelim Sporting Club, and President of Fabrica of Rosary Church, Navelim.
Bishut was founder president of Navelim Sporting and founder member of Navelim Villagers Union and its vice-president.
The familiar face of Bishut will be fondly remembered for his humor, humbleness and generosity, and for his love and dedication towards football. He was a kindhearted person and very helpful in public life. He served as a Sarpanch and Zilla Panchayat member.
Bishut's father, popularly known as 'Nervam Voiz' was a renowned doctor of his time - still fondly remembered by people in and around Navelim.
A true son and a gentleman of Navelim โ coming from a palatial home at Dongorim, Bishut was residing in Colva for the past many years.
Bishut was a multifaceted personality โ an orator, toastmaster, a great MC, and once a front-runner for the Navelim constituency Assembly seat. A fount of general and political knowledge, he could bring life into toasts and speeches with his anecdotes and puns.
Bishutโs friendly smile, and the sweetness of his blinking eyes will be missed by everyone.
