Rampurkar Manohar Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Oct. 31 to Nov. 1, 2015.

Rampurkar Manohar July 11, 1925 - October 24, 2015

It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Dr. Ram Manohar in Burlington, Ontario at the age of 90.

Ram's wife of 65 years, Asha Manohar, predeceased him on July 13, 2014. Ram will be missed dearly by his three daughters: Rekha (Kirit) Vaidya, Bindu (Kevin) Wyma and Sheila (Walter) Kreyszig. He will be forever remembered by his grandchildren: Ashish (Amy), Jay (Melissa), Jenny (Derek) and Alex.

Ram's intelligence was matched only by the generosity of his spirit. He was a warm and caring man who guided others with his wisdom. He was highly respected by friends and colleagues at the University of Saskatchewan where he enjoyed a long and rewarding career inspiring many through his love of academia.

Throughout his life, Ram pursued many interests including art, science, physics, computer science and music. He was passionate about life, learning and strived to enjoy each day of his life to the fullest.

Ram had many friends and relatives across the globe with whom he established and maintained close and loving relationships. Ram provided inspiration and mentorship to many within his extended family. He will be greatly missed.

A Memorial Reception will be held at the Emmanuel & St. Chad Building - Graduate Student Commons, 1337 College Drive, Saskatoon on November 28, 2015 from 2-4 pm. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.com).

Dear Ram Bhaiji:
You descended in our world from your heavenly abode with your closed fists 1 and now you have ascended back to your heavenly abode with your fists open2 joining your life- long partner Ashaji.
First I met you, Ashaji- our Bhabiji, and three young daughters Rekha, Bindu, and Sheila in late November 1967 when you used to live on Bateman Crescent. Of course, you taught us how to live in Saskatoon, indeed a very cold place but with very warm hearts (warm cold place).
You at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon illuminated the hearts of your students with humanistic type of mathematics, especially in the field of discrete mathematical formulation. A world-wide reception of your research publications and text book in mathematics is a symbol of your research contributions to our scientific world.
Well, now you have gone back to your heavenly abode, but you have left behind your inspiring smiles in the hearts of our Saskatoon community.
Your family and friends will miss your physical presence, but they know that you and Asha Bhabiji are watching us from your heavenly abode showering upon us your good wishes.
May the Almighty grant peace to your soul in heavenly abode!!

Yours loving,
Madan & Suman Gupta

Closed fists 1 = bringing fortunes in this world;
Fists open2 = leaving fortunes that one has earned during his life time in this world.
