THATHA _ The Grand Patriarch who hosted and attended all important functions!! I had the honour of hosting you as a young Major. You travelled by train the entire length of the country to spend time with us!I remember the long discussions with you sitting in the verandah in Mandavelli, talking about theology, politics and geo-politics, value systems and the weather in Madras!!You prayed for me every time I went to the Front, and for my career and promotion.You had a special smile every time I came back. You presented a Bible which is handy for carrying, inscribed in your own handwriting, which I'm using till date.
Your presence will always be missed.

Ammu lit a candle on 21st June, 2008:

Dear Thatha,

We miss you. You remained a towering personality even in the 1990's. With failing health you faded a little, but still retained the majesty which was so much a part of you!! You were the MC at my Wedding and what a wonderful job you did - entertaining the guests with your wit and charm!

Hope you are happy in your new home with Jesus and Patti.

Love you,
Ammu

Our dear Appa who brough me up and loving seven sisters along with our dear mother is no more with us .We cherish the memory of his discipline,love for music and sacrifice and following the principle of forgiving .He always used to say "Why do you look at the saw dust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye"(Matthew 7:3)He led a true Christian life and was an inspiration to many and lived in and for church music.We miss you dear Appa.
