It is an honor and privilege to have known Vasu ettan, as we affectionately called him. He related to the young and the old with warmth, love and respect. A totally unassuming human being as he was, he was the role model for a lot of people in a lot of ways. A sincere friend, a loving husband and father, a compassionate doctor, a dignified gentleman - all in one person. He will be very sadly missed by all of us.
