I met Ian, Ellen-Aase & Krishna in Kenya.It was there that I started to recruit/entice Ian to join our faculty at UCONN.

It was an honor for my wife Gail and I to know this amazing man and his gracious and giving wife Krishna. Our friendship with son Steven goes way back. Our condolences to them and his extensive family.
