As someone who had experienced his helpful nature, this is very sad news. A good man, taken away too soon.
Most of the usual phrases used at these times, even when expressed sincerely, always seem a little inadequate. I think it's a tribute to the man that the grief of his family and friends is shared (in a smaller way) by people, like me, who've had only limited experience of him. My thoughts are with you Udhay and with his family. Take care, -- b On Sun, 18 Oct, 2020, 08:08 Udhay Shankar N, <ud...@pobox.com> wrote: > For those of you who knew him, I have sad news.
