Makarand worked as an anesthesiologist at Grady Memorial Hospital, Chickasha, where his dedication to his patients and his sense of humor were appreciated by all those who worked with him. He enjoyed listening to music and traveling the world with his wife. He cherished spending time with friends, and he especially loved a great steak and glass of wine. His happiest times were with his treasured grandchildren who always made him light up with a smile. He will always be remembered and loved by all who knew him. Makarand is survived by his wife, Kumudini; his son, Abhay and wife Swapna, of Westlake Village, CA; his son, Atul and wife Ashwini, of Tulsa, OK; grandchildren, Elina Vaidya, Anisa Vaidya, Mira Vaidya, and Nikhil Vaidya; two sisters, Usha Vaidya and Asha Gogate; and numerous nieces and nephews.
