Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Dr. Reddy's passing, and just want Sashank to know how great his father was. Dr. Reddy was one of the greatest mentors to me of my life. I was placed in his lab in 2012 when I was in high school, and he taught me so well that I won first place on my poster in the undergrad devision. He encouraged me to pursue medicine. But he was also a teacher of life. I came back to MUSC for several years and it would make my day to run into him in front of the library or in the cafeteria,...

I just learned of Dr. Reddy´s passing and I´m so sorry that he is gone. I met Dr. Reddy in 2007 when I first started at MUSC and he was always so kind and helpful to me and everyone around him. He contributed so much to our scientific knowledge and it´s great loss to the scientific community. I will really miss running into him in the halls at MUSC, and having a nice chat. Sending my sincerest sympathies to his family and friends.

I truly miss him. He was a great mentor and a scientific collaborator for me. A gentle soft-spoken person, a great scientist, and always willing to help others. I miss him a lot and my sincere condolences to his son and family.

He will be missed by myself and many others. His kindness and desire to help was central to his character. He was a well respected...
