I am saddened by the news of the passing of my college professor, mentor, and friend. Dr. Sathe was one brilliant man. He provided me a lot of guidance and motivation during undergrad at FSU and post-grad/professional career. I enjoyed getting to know Sandhya and Sonal over the past few years and send my deepest condolences to them. I was thinking of Dr. Sathe recently, I was so excited to share my future endeavors and know he would be smiling ear to ear, saying "I told you so, I knew you would do it". And then he would end our visit a Werther's Original caramel or some candy he always had with him. I will miss our friendship and his mentorship. He is one person I'll never forget. Rest in peace, until we meet again.

We met Shridhar and Sandhya few times at social functions. His good nature will be missed. May God give strength to Sandhya and Sonal with other family members to bear the loss of Shridhar.

My heart is grieving for one of my favorite professors and people. He was such an intellectual person, yet also one of the most humble and generous people I've ever met. My sincere condolences to Sandy and Sonal, and the rest of his family. May he rest in peace.
