Two executives of Bradesco Seguros and two pilots were killed yesterday evening in the crash of a Cessna Citation VII jet in a rural area on the border between Goiás and Minas Gerais.
Marco Antônio Rossi, President of Bradesco Insurance and Executive Vice President of Bradesco Bank (left), and Lúcio Flávio Conduru de Oliveira, President of Bradesco Life and Pensions (right) were aboard a flight returning from Brasilia to São Paulo at the time of the crash.
Marco was a former student of mine and a dear personal friend. Despite the high profile executive position that he held I've never met a more humble individual in my entire career. He treated me more like a family member than his teacher. He will truly be missed.
Rest in Peace Marco, you will always be remembered with great fondness. My deepest sympathies to the families and friends of all the crash victims.
With Deepest Sympathy,
James
