Sad to find out today that my pal from when we were just born, is no more. Pradeep and I were born just two days apart in the same hospital, and our mom's had beds that were next to each other. He and I went to the same school, and came to the US in the same year. So many fond memories that we shared together. I pray and offer my deepest sorrow to everyone in his Pradeep's family, and to his sister Jyotibala, and brother Hemant in Mumbai.

I remember Dr. Ghia as an enthusiastic young medical resident @ Easton Hospital when I was a young nurse starting out. He always had a smile, bubbling humor, curiosity, a desire to help responsibly & knowledgably. Hard to believe the young man whose journey was just beginning then has ended the course of a life & career. But, not surprised it was rich, full; touching many.

Prad will be missed. Fun around a campfire; always had a good story. Was never anything but positive. Loved to paddle and seek adventure; and paddle he did - from the tree-lines of Upper Canada to the canyons of Texas and Mexico on the Rio Grande. He loved the mountains and lakes and cross-country skiing and tenting in the freezing cold and he loved the surprises of seeing something for the first time. He never tired of seeing and enjoying God's beauty in the wilderness and in the people he traveled with. God bless you Prad and enjoy the easy portages on this great adventure.

My Dearest Monisha, Sam and Sunny,

Where do I find the words to express the emptiness and deepest pain I feel for your loss. You have been a constant prayer in my heart. Dad was so proud of each of you and loved you so much. Now, Thy Will has been done and we must move forward with pride for his achievements and take comfort that he is now peacefully enveloped in God's arms.

He was such a generous, determined, hard working man who loved his patients and saved many lives; of this you can be proud. For 28 years, this incredible man, with all his spirit and candor, has been my employer, my teacher, my adviser, my critic, my sparring partner, my protector, my counselor and most significantly, my friend. I am not sure where I would be, if God had not placed him in my life. His love of debating every subject imaginable has filled me with a wealth of knowledge. I have been truly blessed by his driving force to meet every challenge that came his way, always giving others the benefit of the doubt. Just as his presence has always filled a room, it has also filled my life. This painful loss can only ever be alleviated by knowing that he is resting and at peace. I am, and will always be, eternally grateful for the gift of his life. He will forever have a place in my heart. With Love Always....
