 He was a simple man of great faith and prayer. He fulfilled all the tasks that the superiors asked of him, with scrupulous faithfulness and spirit of sacrifice. He lived in Trento, Parma, Bassano, Pavia and Verona, and he was loved by everybody because of his cheerful character. He was respected as a “patriarch” because of his wide experience and the many sacrifices he endured. He concluded his earthly life with an edifying death two days before Christmas, while talking friendly with the Child Jesus.
