Dr. Kul B. Aggarwal

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Kul B. Aggarwal, who departed this life on November 27th at his home in Columbia. Kul was one of those rare human beings who was as extraordinarily brilliant as he was kind. He was a true blessing to everyone who knew and loved him.
Kul was born in Nairobi, Kenya where his father had a sawmill business. He had a wonderful childhood in Kenya. Soon after moving back to India with his family, at the age of 14 years old, Kul lost his beloved father.
Dr. Aggarwal graduated from Amritsar Medical College in Punjab in 1975 and went on to touch countless lives as a dedicated physician with his unwavering compassion for the next 50 years. He never stopped learning nor teaching. He was revered by both his patients and his fellow physicians, many of whom were fortunate enough to be trained under his calm and supportive guidance. His passion for his field, led him to start the Interventional Cardiology fellowship at the University of Missouri School of Medicine. On his retirement, a teaching award was dedicated and named in his honor.
Kul and Archna were married in 1979 and raised two daughters together while traveling the world, always sacrificing for them and showing them the true meaning of the word love. After settling in the United States in 1989, Kul still took his family on the most memorable adventures around the globe. These precious moments he created for them will forever warm the hearts of his family. His great sense of humor was a gift, one he always used to uplift those around him, never talking poorly of anyone. Nothing will ever replace his gracious smile and his noble soul, and he will live on when we emulate him, in our kind words and good deeds.
Kul was preceded in death by his father, Labhu Ram Aggarwal, his mother, Kaushalya Devi Aggarwal, and his brother, Lajpat Rai Aggarwal. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Archna Aggarwal, his daughter, Ruchi Aggarwal and her family, his daughter Neha Aggarwal, his brother Bharat Aggarwal, nieces and nephews, and grandchildren.
