Obituary
Send FlowersKept Up Family Ties
No matter what cellular telephone plan he had, Kiran Gopu exceeded the limit of allowable calls. He talked to his friends constantly, and when his younger sister, Deepa, came to the United States from India, he called her every day.
As a foreign graduate student studying at the University of Bridgeport for his master's degree in computer science, thousands of miles from his home in southern India, Mr. Gopu, 25, was intent on maintaining ties with his friends. When his former roommate Vamshidhar Velpula did not get into the graduate school of his choice, Mr. Gopu applied to Bridgeport for him.
"I was really down when the schools rejected me," Mr. Velpula said, "but Kiran told me `You shouldn't be down.' "
As a roommate, Mr. Velpula could say candidly that Mr. Gopu "wasn't a perfect human being." But he said that what most characterized his friend was his pursuit of personal advancement. Mr. Gopu practiced meditation and read widely. He was devoted to classical Indian music. And he studied hard. His plans started to come together in August when he was hired by Marsh & McLennan as a software engineer.
"His dream was to work at the World Trade Center," said Deepa Gopu. "He called me to say, `You wouldn't know how it feels to be at the financial center of the world.' "

I live in Jacksonville,FL. I met Kiran just days before the attack. I still had his message on my voice mail box. Unfortunate and Cruel. A young man who worked hard and about to enjoy the fruits of his hard work suddenly disappeared. I couldn't stop tears when I heard the news. I was in Connecticut at that time.

I am apart of the worlds greatest NAVY, and today we had a 5K run in honor of the fallen and the 9/11 victims. We recieved name tags for the victims and I recieved Kirans name and wanted to see who I was running in honor of today. After reading a little about this great man, our personalities are much the same. To the family, sorry for your great loss, because of this tragic day that Kiran lost his life, his sacrifice gave America the warning that we needed to act before another tragedy like...
