I ran into him at the hospital and we became instant friends. He travelled the world and I came from distant lands. He liked cooking and so did I . He brought all kinds of spicy chicken dishes , special kinds of popcorn. He will always swing by at office. I did not hear from him for a long time so I called his number no answer. Looked at his facebook page and no trace and yes looked a few seconds ago at the obituary and yes I found him but he is no more!
He recommended me to go mombasa in africa and if I live longer I will. My heartfelt condolences to all the family. Amar Dave, MD
