On behalf of Indira, Indrani & Stella (mother) Maharaj, we would like to extend our deepest sympathy for your loss. Uncle Prithee was a very sincere and honest person. He will always be remembered for his kindness and gentle misdemeanor. He touched so many lives in a positive way. Uncle Prithee will always hold a special place in our hearts, as we were truly lucky to have him as a friend and an uncle.

Dear Mrs Persad and family. I just heard of your loss and am so sorry. I worked with Prithee for a few years in Dallas when it was still Friden Alcatel.

Hello. I had the pleasure of working with Prithee several times over the last few years when he came to the Neopost dealerships I work at (Scranton PA 9960 and Johnson City NY 6220). He always pushed us to be our best. His passing was a great shock to all of us here, and we will miss him and always remember him fondly. He was a very good man with a quick smile. If you treasure your memories, Prithee will be with you always. Your family is and has been in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care,
Tracy Ritter

I had the honor & priveledge to know Prithee through his work at Neopost. His visits to our dealership were always made more personable by his smile and obvious caring for others. His passing saddens all of us here in Monroe. We can only imagine the loss to his family. Please know that you are all in our thoughts at this time.

It was with deepest sorrow that I learned of the passing of Prithee. I only had the opportunity to meet him once, a little over a month ago. I was definitely looking forward to seeing him on future visits. He was a kind and genteel man. His depth of knowledge and genuine care and concern for the well-being of the company will be greatly missed. I am sure that he leaves a legacy of many happy memories to his family and friends.
It is said that every person has the capacity to light up a room, some when they enter, and others when they leave. Prithee was very obviously one of the former.

My heart goes out to the entire Persad family, all of you are in my prayers. Prithee was a very kind, caring man so much so that it was evident in his heart and his smile, a smile only Prithee could produce (you know the one).
You always shared your knowledge with those around you through thoughtful care, a special touch and by being a leader-teacher to those around you.
Prithee, you'll live on through your family and through those you touched throughout your life.
You are missed.
I know you are in heaven as evidenced by your obedience to God.
See you someday in heaven.
Your Friend,
