Octavio Bessa Jr.

I´m so sorry about your dad . He was friends with my dad and used to sail a lot. They even did the Bermuda race in the late 70s. I know my father found enjoyment sailing his entire life. He too has passed away.

I worked for Dr. Bessa for many years.. He was an excellent physician and a very thoughtful man. He was very proud of his family and often talked lovingly about his children. Sometimes he would disappear and I learned in time that he was headed for his boat. What a gift he was to his patients.

My father was a good man, perhaps a stubborn man, but I think deep down he loved all his children along with his wife and he was an excellent doctor, that's what we must remember about him may my father rest in peace
Meu pai era um homem bom, talvez um homem teimoso, mas acho que no fundo ele amava todos os seus filhos junto com sua esposa e ele era um excelente médico, é isso que devemos lembrar sobre ele, que meu pai descanse em paz

My dad was a very good doctor and he was a very stubborn person but I think he loves all his children especially his wife and he taught me many things the most important to live life to the fullest to treat everyday as if it's your last and above all to help other people

Octavio was my pop! He was a hard man but a good man. He always meant well. He raied. 4 decent kids I'd like to think. He had a lot of Integrity for what he did and he did his job well! He gave me a great love for the ocean and of exploration. I'd like to thank all the people who left their nice thoughts and memories. May my father move on in peace.

Growing up as the youngest of four children I had the luck of spending the most time with my father!! He was not a very emotional person, but I really believe that deep down he really loved all his children, and especially his wife, he just didn't know how to show it, and more importantly he was a great doctor he didn't go into medicine for the money but he went into medicine for the right reasons because he wanted to help people and whatever they gave him he took he didn't push drugs on...

Dr. Bessa was an outstanding human being and our family was fortunate to have crossed his path. Not only a gifted physician but a compassionate healer he will always be in our prayers.
