Nilanjan Banerjee

Nilly,
I love you forever and always!! You are my heart.

Dear Nilanjan,

I miss you a ton, and think of you often. I'm in San Diego right now, and will be competing in the North American Bridge Championships. I'm dedicating any good results that I might get at this tournament in your honour. Take care. Love Ronju Dai

Ranjan,

I found out through a mutual friend about the death of your son. I was shocked to hear about him, and truly humbled that you attended the Service for my mother. My family and I wish to add our condolences to those above.

I have many great memories of Nilanjan when we were growing up. He was like a younger bratty brother to me. We lost touch over the last few years but I saw him last in June at Dada's wedding. I was struck by how mature, handsome and witty Nilanjan was..he had really grown up. Ranjan Kaka and Nipa Mashi, I can't even express how sorry I am for your loss but know that Nilanjan will always live in our memories and that both of you are very precious to me.

xoxo...

I saw Nilanjan this summer after an interval of a few years. I shall remember him by his young, handsom face, and by his impeccable manners. Death, be not proud.

Nilanjan was an amazing person, truly unique and great fun to be around. I'm glad I saw him this summer after so many years. I will miss him.

My dear Nipa/Ranjan,

What a tragic loss to you both.I remember vividly when Nilanjan was visiting us when he was 10 years old.I took him grocery shopping& wanted to buy a steak for him.I was amazed to find how precisely he asked the lady at the meat counter as to the cut of the meat,how thick it should be etc.She was also surprised to find out how confidently he spoke as to what he wanted.

I met him last at Ronnie's wedding in June,'04.He was so eager & enthusiastic to help me in any way he could.What a great kid!May his soul rest in peace!

I just wanted to write how sorry I am that this happened to such a young person who has accomplished so much in his life, although I have never personally known him, I am a friend of Ranjan Bhaduri and wanted to send my deepest sorrow in this time of mourning. Life is very precious and it seems unfair at times like these and I do miss him already eventhough I never knew him. With sympathies, Kadri Pari.

I have no words to express my shock at the sad and very untimely passing of dear "little" Nilanjan. Nipa and Ranjan - we are with you and can only add that we share your unfathomable grief. He was such a "Star" and suddenly God thought that Nilanjan should be in heaven and not on this earth and that is what He has done. Brinda, Amit and Dhruba condole his death.

Dear Nipa and Ranjan: I am terribly shocked and saddened to hear of Nilanjan's passing away. Whereas words cannot lessen your pain, please know that we are with you and praying to God to give peace to Nilanjan's soul.

Dear Nipa mashi and Ranjan kaka,

Words cannot express our sorrow at Nilanjan's passing.Please know that both of you are always close to our hearts and thoughts. Love, Ronnie and Anu

Dear Ranjanda and Nipadi,

I am absolutely heartbroken to hear of Nilly's death. My heart breaks for your loss too. I am an old girlfriend of Nilly's, and I can speak to his divine beauty, his gentleness, his sweet, pure heart, and thoughtfulness. Nilly made it clear how much he admired his mother, the difference she makes in the world, and the honesty and integrity of his father. Weeks before his mother's birthday, he'd be thinking about how he had to remember it, and every day he told me not to let him forget - it was so important to him. I love Nilly deeply, and I have thought about him every day since we met. He is precious, like an angel.

HIs soul is the most beautiful I have ever known, and suns danced in his eyes. Before he passed, I have seen him in the spirit, and I know he is with us, and can hear our prayers and still feel our love. I pray that he knows how much he is loved.

Dear Nipa and Ranjan,

Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your beloved son, Nilly. I remember him as a year-old baby boy, here in Ottawa. He was so sweet and lovable, with shining eyes and a beautiful smile. Unfortunately, we lost touch with your family although I've often thought of the three of you and your pet dog throughout the years. It is with deep sadness and shock that I read about young Nilly. He was the cherished son who accomplished so much at such a young age. Nilly was clearly well loved by all and he was loving and compassionate towards everyone in turn, including his dear pets. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Adele Morris

Dearest Nipa Mashi & Ranjan Kaka,



Just to let you know what you already know ... Nilanjan was a totally amazing person! He was so much fun to be around, and very intelligent, ... he knew the capital markets and international business inside out, but most of all he was a very good person. I'll miss him always. But when I am feeling down, I'm going to try and force myself to remember how energetic Nilanjan was, and try to use that in a positive way. Even though he was younger, he taught Ronju Dai a lot. He'll live forever in the wonderful memories that we all have of him. Please take care and may peace be with you.

Love Ronju

I am truly saddened by this turn of events. Ranjan is dear to me and it hurts to know how difficult this moment is. My thoughts are with him. I am happy to have read about your son, belatedly.

Dear Ranjanda and Nipadi,

Nipa and Ranjan,

I want to express my deepest condolences to both of you. I am truly saddened by the news of Nilanjan's passing. I remember fondly the days of my youth spent with Nilly as we tried to stir up trouble in and around the streets of Rockcliffe or settled in the attic to play video games. His passion for life and his smile will never be forgotten.

Dear Ranjan: My heartfelt condolences to you and Nipa for your loss. I have been so impressed by how many friends and colleagues have contacted me to express their sympathy. It is a testament to both of you and to the obvious respect and friendship Nilanjan inspired. Please know that so many thoughts are with you during this most difficult time.

Dearest Nipa Mashi and Ranjan Kaku,

I am so deeply saddened to hear about Nilanjan's death. I met him once, when he was a tiny infant, and was lovingly called Badsha. I remember, Nipa Mashi, watching you delicately bathe and care for Badsha, and thinking how wonderfully and joyfully loved he was. In reading about the man he had become, I can see how he thrived and flourished in the glow of that love. I have no words that can lessen your immense grief at Nilanjan's loss, but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please take care of one another. Om shanti.

Ranjan and Nipa, I am so very sorry to hear of your recent loss.

No words of comfort can I offer you, however, I do want you to know that you have friends and acquaintances who are sharing your sadness.

Nipa Mashi & Ranjan Kaka:



Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved son Nilanjan. I was simply shocked to learn the news today and although we haven't seen any of you in so very long, we immediately felt connected to all of you. I fondly remember the last time I saw Nilanjan- he was only a toddler, but even then I recall being struck by his innate smarts and quick beaming smile. I will always remember little Badsha like that. I'm sorry that we will be unable to attend the memorial service, but please know that our thoughts are with you.



Love & Peace,

Dear RanjanKaka and NipaMasi,



Those who bloom in the heart of others never fade away .............

May you find comfort and strength in your memories. He will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him.





Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss Ranjan kaka & Nipa Masi.

I want to express my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to your family on your loss. Nilanjan was a wonderfully talented and lovable person. We shared common backgrounds through Ottawa and Dartmouth, and had mutual friends, but never connected socially until this summer. It did not take me long to see what a fantastic guy Nilanjan was - smart, funny, daring, and full of well-articulated opinions. A few days before he left for Cornell, we shared beers in Ottawa to discuss our expectations for business school - and I was able to enjoy Nilly's charismatic personality in an evening that was full of lively debate and laughter. We shared emails and phone calls throughout the past few months relating our business school war stories, and I was really looking forward to seeing him over the holiday break. I guess the best thing I can say about Nilanjan is that while I was only just getting to know him, I know I'm going to miss him, because the world is a less interesting place with him gone. We'll save a place for him in our hearts.

Dear Ranjan, it is very hard to find the words to express my deepest regrets when I heard about the lost of your son. It is with a very sad heart that I address my condolences to my dear new friend and colleague.



Ranjan and Nipa, Please accept my sincere and deepest sympathy for the lost of your beloved.

Ranjanda and Nipadi:



Once I heard someone saying, "When grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates." While I believe in it, and yet I couldn't desist myself from an attempt in finding some consoling words - it's very hard at this time of your shock and solemnness.

Dear Ranjan and Nipa,



I was tremendously saddened to learn of your devastating, untimely loss. My heart and prayers go out to you both.

Robert and I are shocked and saddened deeply by this tragedy. We had both met Nilanjan several times over the last 10-15 years and thought of him as a very unique and special person. He made the world a better place for being in it and brightened our lives whenever we were with him. We will both miss Nilanjan a lot. Nipa mashi and Ranjan Kaka, please accept our deepest condolences.

Our most sincere condolences on the death of your oh so beloved son. We can only acknowledge your profound grief and broken hearts and say how we wish it were not so.



Nilanjan is a friend of our son Gareth Jones who is from Orleans. Gareth and Nilanjan were at Dartmouth together and Nilanajan was wonderfully supportive when Gareth decided to take his MBA.

Gareth is currently studying for his MBA in Chicago and he called us yesterday from London, UK, to tell us the dreadful news. He really wishes he could be here to add testimony to your son's truly remarkable gifts. When Gareth spoke of him it was always with great admiration.

With deep regret

Antoinette and Graham Jones

We are absolutely devastated at the sad and oh-so-untimely passing away of our dear Nilanjan. We remember him so fondly and recall with pride his passage from a kid to a bright, articulate youngman of great promise. What a terrible loss for all of us but most of all for Ranjan and Nipa. All we can do is to pray that his soul rest in peace and that somehow Ranjan and Nipa would find some solace in bearing this unbearable loss.

Sorry!! We don't know - how to express our condolences. We wish, Nipadi and Ranjanda will have divine strength to bear this greatest loss.

Dear Ranjan and Nipa. Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your son.

This past Saturday brought sadness into our home. We have known Nilly ever since our son Chris befriended him in Grade 3 at Elmwood School. Even though Nilly and Chris were at times separated by continents, the two boys preserved and cultured a friendship that endured well over 20 years. We have seen this young boy grow into a teenager and into a man. Our deepest sympathy to Rajan and Nipa. For us it was a loss of an adopted son.
