It was a terrible shock for all of us. He is a such a wonderful person who is a true definition of so many qualities such as Family Caring extending Extreme Comfort nd Care,Happiness for simple things, Always Cheerful, Kindhearted, A Big fan of Friends since Childhood, Nature lover nd he is a nice gentleman. He mingles with all age groups nd he is a kid among kids, friend among friends, Excellent Care taker of Family with love nd affection, A great man with decent personality I could never come across such a nice person (Annayyagaru for me) so far having all good qualities. Though it is hard to accept I wish that the family members shall continuance his legacy.

My father's colleague and a friend, I know Lakshmi Narayana uncle since a very young age. Although we met very sporadically over the years, I have a few impressions gathered from the memories of my childhood.

We were neighbours for a few years. There were frequent visits to each other's houses. I spent most of my summers and weekends in their home those years. I remember him to be a very fun yet strict dad to his children.

He had a way with children. Everytime I visited, he would ask me questions from my text books and allowed me to play only if I answered correctly. He made me to recite my Telugu language "neeti vakyalu", definitions of " sandhulu, samasalu" etc until I got them all right.
I used to study before I go to their home, to make a good impression with him. Looking back, I realise, I tried to impress him because somewhere I was inspired by him.

From all my childhood encounters, I gather that he was an ever smiling, positive, friendly, extremely mannerful, and a decent human and that impression remains the same in my memory todate.

I pray for aunty to find peace !

Quoting Dylan Thomas-
" Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of light "

He will remain a Best friend and a Hero to his son always !

I was extremely fortunate to have him as our family friend and now he left us. We are known to each other since 1991. At first I met him as my friend's father and later came to know that he was also my father's friend. His family is so attached to us and they were always special for us. I never expected that my wedding event will be our last meet. I am deeply shocked and still can't believe he is no more. He was always positive, humble, friendly, jovial, always smiles at everyone & treat everyone nicely. Uncle left a void in everyone's heart that will never be filled. The sad part is we didn't get the chance to see Uncle and also my friend for the last time . Uncle, you will always be missed. A final good bye to you with tears in my eyes. May your atma attain sadgati
