October 8, 1948 — December 13, 2016
Paul Ignatius Fernandes, 68, a loving husband and father, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on December 13, 2016 in Syracuse, NY.
He was born on October 8, 1948 to Diogo Juberto Patricio Roberto Fernandes and Rosa Maria das Neves Peres Fernandes in Bangalore, India. His family also resided in Porvorim, Goa (India).

He would later impart his athleticism to his two children, Natalie and Brandon, his pride and joy. He especially loved teaching them how to play tennis, instilling in them a shared passion for the sport which would continue throughout their college careers.
