Após a morte de Diogo Cassels, em 1923, este deixa a Fiandor a herança: substituição na direcção da Escola do Torne e pastor da Igreja de S. João Evangelista.

Ainda em 1968 participou nos eventos comemorativos do centenário da Escola do Torne, que dirigiu durante quase meio século. Faleceu em 23 de Julho de 1970.
