  The short biography of Mrg. Gandy at the MEP Archives ends as:
  During his 42 years as a missionary, he was always on the road, always at work; He did that for the good of souls and the holy will of God. He practiced mortification, fasting, working which is a great example to his flock; He left us the example of the finest of virtues.
