October 1, 1933 - July 4, 2016 Ravindra Kalyanrao Badkar passed away in the early morning hours of July 4, 2016, at the age of 82 of complications from a stroke. He was born in Mumbai, India, and came to the United States at the age of 26 to attend UCLA, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering.
