Tomasini, was a major driver of canoeing worldwide. Since when I met him in Sydney, during the Olympic Games, he has always believed that canoeing should be for everyone and a universal sport, so he convinced me to help in this great task in the service of canoeing, encouraging the spread of canoeing in Africa. Africa in this hour of mourning and sadness for its disappearance, bows to honor a great worker and tireless driver for the growth and development of canoeing on our continent. In life we have many surprises. And this is one of those that make us suffer, bring us sadness, pain and suffering. The early departure of our dear friend and companion is one of those unpredictable surprises. Your brand will never be erased, no matter how long it takes, and you will always be part of African Canoeing history. Joao Tomasini, you will leave a great void in the family of African Canoeing and worldwide, and your deeds will remain alive in our memories. Follow your path in peace, enlightened by the blessings of God, dear colleague and friend. We will always be here, praying for you, sending our positive energies of love and affection. It is a sad farewell, but it is also a time to lovingly remember a very special person that you were. That is why "After the tears have dried, after the goodbyes, we must keep the good memories that we share with our loved ones, who left us as you, dear friend". This is what will keep you alive in our minds and in our hearts. May your soul rest in peace.
