Dear Asha Bhabhi, Amit & Alpa, Maneesh & Gagan and Simran & Nalin,
As this solemn holiday winter season comes upon us, we all are again made acutely aware of the physical absence of our dear and beloved friend - Dr. Shanker Lal Garg ( Lala Ji ). But the real truth is that Shanker Lal has always been and will always be with us in our hearts and minds. We have only to close our eyes and see his smiling face urging us all to stop worrying and keep on working hard to take care of our daily responsibilities to help family, friends and community. And then save some time to have fun,relax,do some Nautanki and laugh together.
May God Bless the Entire Garg Family & Friends with peace, prosperity and good health,
With Lots of Love and Best Wishes,
Ram & Veena Wadhwa

I just learned of the passing of Dr. Garg! It was a shock to hear this. When I first met him in the late 1990's at my first appointment, I knew he was a great, caring doctor. He found out right away what was wrong with me. There should be more Doctors, and just regular people like him. Prayers for his family!

We are very saddened by His sudden demise. When We arrived in Worcester MA in July 1973 he was already on the attending staff and was so good to a us as a guide and a mentor. Asha joined later and did her residency with us. We have such fond memories of him during our early days in Worcester,MA.
We will keep him in our paraders.

We are devastated to hear this most unexpected Passing away of our dear friend and classmate, hostel and floor mate. We came to Schenectady, USA, at the same time. I got to know him well - his temperament and his care free living style as a housemate. He loved his first - a boat size Pontiac convertible car. Shankar, our LaLaji, will be missed. We the Tyagi Family joins all our classmates in extending our heartfelt condolences to SHANKER LAL Garg's FAMILY. May his soul rest in well deserved peace. His legacy as a friend, Father and a caring Physician shall survive and will be proud beacon for all his associates at various stations of their lives.

It is so sad to hear about the passing away of our classmate Shankar Lal Garg. It seems like only yesterday when we met Shankar Lal and Asha at the 7th batch Golden jubilee in 2012.
This is just a harsh reminder to us all that TODAY is all we have and cherish each other; cannot take tomorrow for granted.
May his soul rest in peace.

It is deeply saddening for me and Kusum to learn about sad passing away of our dear Shanker Lal. I have had very close association with Shankar during our UG days. We even shared our rooms. Then Kusum and me had an opportunity to enjoy outstanding hospitality of Dr Asha and Shankar when we visited them at their home
Our heart felt condolences to Dr Asha and other family members. Shankar's passing away is really a personal loss to me as I almost feel a part of his family

We are deeply saddened by the news of untimely passing away of our long time and a very dear friend Dr. Shanker Lal Garg. We had known Shanker and Garg family since last 40+ years.

We convey our deepest sympathy and condolences to Dear Ashaji and Garg family. We pray to ALMIGHTY for eternal peace to the departed soul, strength to the Garg family and friends to bear this loss. Amen..!!

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Garg's passing. He began treating me when I was only 2 years old. He was a very kind and compassionate man. I ran into him when I was a young adult and he remembered who I was after many years of not seeing one another. The world is definitely a better place because of him.

Dear Asha and the members of Shanker's family,
Words cannot express our grief on the sudden departure of Shanker. I am sure he is in heaven. As a friend he was a tremendous asset. Always willing to help and extend his hand in everyway. I think all of you know what a great family man he was, rejoicing in every milestone that the kids achieved. Always smiling no matter what hurdles he faced. We are praying to God to give you all the strength to face the loss. We will miss him tremendously

Shanker Lal Garg was always a very confident and cheerful person and at the center of the social life of Students at All India Institute of Medical Sciences,N.Delhi,India. He was popularly and lovingly called as "LALA" of our class. I had the good fortune of sharing the same Hostel wing with him and learnt a lot of good things from Lala Ji. I can still see him smiling in the Hostel Hall Way and uplifting our spirits. He very well managed the financial affairs of our students union and carried this habit throughout his life. He told me that he would wake up in the early hours of the morning to watch closely the world markets and manage all his family investments. He was a kind and versatile N.C.C. Cadet Officer and won the Cup for the best Social work at Chandpur Camp in 1965. He was very good in Hindi Debates and in stage acting. Not too long ago, he showed his acting skill during his weding Anivesary Party in MA,USA, when he smilingly stood in the cener stage dressed as Lord Krishna with his flute and all the Gopies danced around him including his wife Asha. He was a skilled cross country runner and he did outrun most of his Classmates in meeting his maker. We will all miss him.
