Jacques Piccard

I first met Jacques Picard when he was attending the Indian Science Congress in Tirupathi India in 1980. He was so tall, he found it very uncomfortable during the three hour car journey from IIT Chennai to Tirupathi. (At that time I was with the Ocean Engineering Centre at IIT Chennai). He was recounting several interesting anecdotes during this journey and for me this was one of the most interesting trips to Tirupathi. I am truly shocked to hear that he passed away in 2008. He and his family are pioneers and I shall always cherish the few days that I spent with Jacques Picard.

may you inspire the rest of us who are living as you plunged into the unknown

With your spirit of freedom,love for adventure and being generously open-minded for all people,you have given me an life-time rememberance.Thanks. I wish you a good and exiting journey to those places in the universe you can go to now.

Family Piccard, I wish you all the strength you need. He has made his stamp on this Earth and will never be forgotten.

A completly unkown young man that loved to have an autografh in one of his books, back in 1989. Generously being invited in the house and being talked with in his laboratorium. I will never forget! Thanks!

A great man whom I had the pleasure of meeting: affable, cordial and truly a family man. You inspired me, and humanity, deeply. Rest in peace for the family you fathered continues to thrive and aspire.

ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSITE -THE OCEAN IS ANOTHER WORLD ON ITS OWN AND WE WOULD NEVER KNOW THAT WITHOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

May God hold Mr. Piccard in His memory and bless the family he left behind. Psalms 83:18

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.
