“For those of us who worked closely with Aide Ganasi we knew him as a man of respect and dignity.
“He was a loving and caring family man, and a gentleman to his friends and colleagues who would never have a bad word to say about anyone.
“His leadership was not without pain and struggles particularly with a challenge to his election early in his term.

“He led by example and has left an important legacy, and as a Government we will continue to the work he had underway.
“The Member for South Fly’s sudden passing had shocked the nation, and we have lost a great leader.
“He served his people well with honor and dignity and strived to deliver the basic service through District Services Improvement Program funding.”
