When a friend is going through grief it can be as though you are experiencing the same grief with them. A good heart has stopped breathing, a good soul ascended to heaven. With half a century of friendship including taking part in the wedding of Philip and Ammini. I was honoured to be their best man. All his life in Canada, he lived in London, Ontario. He was a good "56" player. Whenever, wherever, he heard "56", he will be there. People enjoyed his presence, sharp comments and jokes. I extend my deepest sympathies to Ammini and children. May the soul of your husband/father be at peace with our heavenly Father.

Philip (Kunjumon) was one of my best friends. I will miss him dearly. Our children Hema, Hemanth and Hemlin grew up with Betsy and Bobby. Hema was very upset about his untimely departure. She fondly refers him as Thad uncle. Ammini is a very dear friend of Mary and me - more than friends, like family members. We have a lots of good memories to cherish. Let the good memories keep you all strong. Love you all....
