Rakesh B. Vaidya

My memories with Rakesh in high-school, college, and beyond, will be treasured. I will always hold the highest regard for him, as a friend, and as a brother.

Rakesh's bright smile and warm laughter is still very much missed, as it will always be.

The only comfort for the sadness from the silent echo of his empty office is this thought:

"Those who live in the hearts of others, never die"

Please write if you wish to share special memories of Rakesh. I will be happy to share an online remembrance album I made on behalf of myself and all Rakesh's friends at Merck who said a kind word or shared a special...

We have known Rakesh since he was a little boy.Not only Bharat bhai and Daksha have lost a son but Our community has lost a fine and promising young man.

Rakesh was a polite, quiet yet friendly boy who had become a confident man. He was very good with children and played with our son, Raj, at the poojas. His passing away is truly a great loss and his memory will remain with us.

Rakesh will be missed very much. He was another son to us. He is with God and only God knows why he decided to take our beloved Rakesh away from all of us. May his soul rest in peace.

Rakesh will be forever missed--every second, every minute, every hour. A truly beautiful person inside and out, my best friend, my companion. Only good things come to mind when talking about Rakesh. He is truly the most sincere, selfless, and good hearted person I've ever known. You will be missed, may you rest in peace, I love you--always and always.

Raki, a beautiful flower Lord Shiva created for the Vaidya family garden, aroma of his LOVE is at the heart of us forever

I will miss my brother for the rest of my life. I was always proud of him. Proud of the curious little boy and proud of the compassionate young man he grew up to be. Please write to me with your special memories of Rocky.
