My Deepest condolences to the family. There are no words I can express my sorrow. I was fortunate to meet him in the month of November after years in LA I had gone specially to LA so I could meet Kishan and Saroj. Known the family since 1970 though they moved away from California but the bond of friendship continued. He was such a kind and through gentleman don’t have enough words to praise him. God sure takes the best away. May His Soul Rest in Peace and give Saroj and entire family strength to bear the loss.
It is still difficult to accept that you have left us all…
We will miss your physical presence though you will continue to live in our hearts & memories. May your loving & kind soul be at peace & in divine’s protection.
