Shalin Vaidya Obituary

Shalin Vaidya 1979-2012 Shalin Vaidya, 32, passed away May 13th in San Diego, Calif. He was born August 9th 1979, to Pratima and Subhash (predeceased) Vaidya in Toronto, Canada, and grew up in Brattleboro, Vt. Shalin attended Keene State College and Community College of Vermont. He was living in San Diego for the past few years, but had moved back to Brattleboro recently. He was a deeply curious soul seeking the mysteries of life, to that aim he became an amateur astronomer, and deeply religious in Hindu spirituality. He attended a retreat at the Swamis Lotus temple in San Diego and was involved in several societies including the National Space Society, and the Astrophysics Society of UCSD. Shalin enjoyed volunteerism and spent time with the Veterans in San Diego. His charming smile and infectious laugh will be missed deeply by his Mother, and two older siblings, Kerav Vaidya and his wife Dorothy, and Monica Vaidya and her mate Nicholas Russell. Shalin held his friends as family, and will be missed in the hearts of his brothers, as he always called them. MEMORIAL SERVICE: A Memorial Service will be held at the VFW hall on Sunday May 20th between 3 and 5 p.m. Donations in Shalin's honor can be sent to the National Space Society or Pupsquad.org for rescue dogs.

I am so sorry to hear of Shalin's Death. He was such a wonderful friend and person. I was looking through the texts from him that I had received and the last one said: U always have my best wishes, Lizzy. That text right there sums up what a great man he was. And I don't let many people get away from calling me Lizzy! RIP.
