Riyaz will trully be missed, always saw him race and a few times at Dolphin suits, which I liked to go to once in a while, I met him when his highness came for the golden jubilee visit to Uganda, a very jolly person he was, and Uganda as well as the motor sports fraternity has trully lost real talent and a great personality, it’s all hard to put together, my sincere sympathy goes out to Azina and the family may the good lord strengthen you through these rough times.

We (Myself, Mr.Pillai, Allabux, Imran & Shejad) worked under him during the initial stages of Uganda Fish Packers then 1993. We used to call him “Bobji”. He was very enthusiastic and never gets upset during business difficulties. He used to love drive cars very fast then. Later he developed rallying as his passion. He shared his good time with us very happily and behaved like a friend only. Never he behaved like a boss and we worked then like a small family. We loved him very much and this sudden death has really saddened me. Right now i am at India and seen this fatal news on New Vision web page. We are very sorry and our condolences to his family. I pray for his soal to rest in the Iternal peace.
