I am also reproducing here the condolence mssages received by me by email.
Dear Partha
It is a great shock and hard to believe that Gopalan anna is no longer with us. Vijaya akka, Mohan, Usha and the other members of the family must be in great shock. As I have been travelling interstate very often, Chandra tried to call your home number a few times and then spoke with my brother and asked him convey her condolences to you.
Affly yours
Raghu
Athimber:
I just heard about this from Appa and was very shocked and saddened. To me, this comes as totally unexpected. Thanks to your party, I got to meet him on January 8th. My sense of loss is amplified due to your newsletter, where he contributed, and thus I got to know him a little more. I am glad that we all got to read his thinking. I liked the fact that he opened up his life when he wrote.
Please pass on my regards to Mohan and Usha.
Regards,
Prasad
Dear Athimber,
I read your mail while travelling and sent a reply to
Mohan (he has sent an acknowledgement back). It is
really a shocking development. We were all getting to
know Mr. Gopalan so much more through his very
interesting/confessional style. I was particularly
looking forward to this edition where we was going to
write about weight loss methods. I hope he had the
opportunity to finish it. He will be missed very much
in your newsletters.
Losing ones brother must be a very difficult thing.
Especially, when he was so actively involved in your
Newsletter issues. But you introduced him to all of
us in the family by publishing his articles and
conveying to him all the reader responses. Through
this, you have given him lots of happiness and
contentment in his retired life. I am sure he will
thank you for that.
Again, I am very sorry to hear about this. May his
soul rest in peace. Please do keep publishing his
articles periodically, so we can all fondly remember
him.
Affectionately,
Mukund
